Advent stole for clerical vestments--using the simplest quilt block.

6" log cabin blocks form the length; brocade around the neck; irridescent batik for the backing.

My little sister is turning the big 5-0 in December. She is the finest minister in the state of Ohio (Dof C) and she deserves something beautiful and empowering too. My guess is that she doesn't read this blog, so I'm safe in sharing it. And if she is reading this, then cheers to her!
