New needlepoint project approved by Council

Calling all stitchers! Our next needlepoint project has been approved by the Council. we It will be a wonderful banner which will be stitched to replicate our beautiful stained glass windows with a Luther Rose in the center. When completed, it will hang on the back wall of the sanctuary over the door. Once again it is being designed by Linda Mote who has designed all of our other projects except for the Chrismons.  It will be worked in 9 sections. We have a very generous donor who  is funding the entire project as a memorial but we will need stitchers! Please watch in the coming weeks for meeting announcements. As we will need to gather for distribution of the kits and instructions when they are ready. 

 

 

 Thanks, Amy G
