I now know a whole new vocabulary.
Chasuble
Dalmatic
Fiddle back
Orphrey
Dowlas
Brocatelles
I've been asked to make a set of vestments for Christmas for East Harling Church. What a privilege. I've also been asked to make a fiddle backed chasuble for the high church at Eye in Suffolk. Wow. Nice work if you can get it.
I'm going to try & get East Harling to let me embroider a lamb like the one at Bourne Church
. East Harlings village sign has a lamb on it as this was a huge wool growing area from medieval times right up until the early 20th century.

Wow! How exciting! Would you do the embroidery by hand? How much artistic license do you have in the design?
I want YOUR job! :-)

I'll probably get a machine embroidery place to do most of it & then embellish the lamby with french knots, like a curly wool coat.
Gold thread here we come!!!!!!
