"Sewing Church Linens" - Pat Crane
Pat Crane has graciously agreed to present this program during the
morning. She has been teaching linen construction since 1983.
Following six years as Directress of the Connecticut Diocesan Altar Guild,
she established a small business, "Linens by Pat", in 1996. From that
time she has produced and continues to produce countless church linens, from
the small utility items to custom-designed fair linens for altars, large
and small. In 1999, she published "With these Hands....A Practical
Guide to Sewing Church Linens." The book was expanded and reprinted
in 2004. Now, following its third printing, her book continues to be
a valuable and complete reference for sewers of church linens.
During the program, Pat will share stories about her sewing for churches
experience. In addition to talking about her work, she will present
a "Show and Tell" of her recent display for the CT Altar Guild. This
includes several examples of her work and her book. For those who are
interested, copies of her book will be available.

After lunch, we would like to have a large show and tell. Please bring
