Recently we heard from Maureen who completed this beautiful altar linen using one of the patterns here on our website. Congratulations! It took her over 500 HOURS of work. Elizabeth Morgan, author of Sewing Church Linens, helped with the making up of the fair linen. This is magnificent- thanks for sharing your photos, Maureen. Christmas was a perfect time to present this wonderful gift at the altar.

i have been asked by our parraish priet to crochet an alter colth for our new chuch that was built in 2010. i saw this very simple but pretty linen and i know our Fr. pat will just love it. he asked me to use the “ihs” symbo. when i saw this i knew this was it. is there a way that you could email me picture or pattern so i can crochet for our church.
thank- you

congratulations to Maureen for completing such a fabulous piece of work, it looks beautiful. I discovered the photo when i was searching for a suitable pattern for an Altar cloth edge, I started on it last night and i can tell you that i think it will take me a very very long time to complete as our Altar is quite big. I would be delighted if it ever looked as good as Maureen’s. Annie Welsh, Liverpool UK
