Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Needlepoint Projects
In February 2003, members of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church formed a group interested in
using their needlework skill to the Glory of God and to beautify Holy Trinity Lutheran Church for
generations to come. Over the next twenty years the following members of Holy Trinity
contributed their talents on needlepoint projects both large and small: Betty Barton, Gail Cannon,
Linda Cirocco, Jamie Corrigan, Rynde Dial, Roz Eckardt, Harriet Gilmer, Amy Goodson, Jan
House, Nancy Korn, Edna Moore, Dawn Myers, Jane Potter, Elaine Rummage, Stacie Smith, Judy
Wagner, and Kathryn Weeks. Unless noted below, designs were by Linda Mote.
Project #1: Four kneeling cushions with Trinity symbols and a central Luther Rose cushion for use
at the altar. Work began July 2003 and was dedicated December 2004.
Project #2: Covers for 10 chairs and the Prie Dieu (minister’s kneeler). Work began December
2004 and was dedicated November 2007.
Project #3: Seasonal kneeling cushions (Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, and Weddings) and
silencers for offering plates. These were dedicated November 2007.
Project #4: Red Paraments and Stole. These were dedicated May 2010.
Project #5: Chrismons. The first set of 46 were designed either by Gail Keffer (26) or were patterns
based on HTLC Chrismons not included in the Keffer patterns. Work began August 2014 and these
were dedicated December 2016. The second set of ten Chrismons were made for use in the
December 2017 Christmas Pageant. All patterns and kits were prepared by Nancy Korn.
Project #6 Chrismon Tree Skirt. The design was from the original felt tree skirt made by members
of the Morning Circle in the early 1960’s. Canvases were prepared by Jamie Corrigan. Work began
in 2015 and dedication was December 2019.

Project #7 Needlepoint Window. Work began in 2018 and is being dedicated today.

The Window Project was designed by Linda Mote, of Lexington, South Carolina. She has
designed most of our needlepoint projects including the kneeling cushions at the altar, the chair
covers, the prei dieu (minister’s kneeler) cover, the offering plate silencers, and the red
Paraments.
The Window was divided into nine sections just as the stained glass windows in the
sanctuary. The black borders show the division of the sections. A kit for each section consisted
of a painted canvas and needlepoint yarn.
