Church Vestment making

Liz has been busy making a Christmas / Easter Chausible and Stole in memory of her Mum for her family church- St Mary's, Walsgrave, Coventry. It's all silk with appliqué of lilies, gold work and strip piecing. The symbol of Mary is 3 lilies in the form of a fleur de lis hence depicting 3 lilies on the vestments. The 3 lilies are also to be found on each stained glass window in the church. 

Here's a picture of the Vicar wearing them on Christmas morning.
