But so little labor, really, at least in terms of tiresome labor. The pattern was simple and pleasant to work, and the work itself joyous.
Someday, I want to make something better, something that uses actual Christian symbols (crosses, etc.) in the lacework, but for now, this covers a rather beat-up table that our little church plant is using out of necessity, and adds a bit of beauty to our weekly worship. I'm so happy I got to do my little bit here.
The idea of the church-members working with their hands to deck the church is a concept I love, and one I think that goes back to the making of the tabernacle. Someday, I'd love to see a needleworker's guild at our church, to work alongside the Altar Guild.
But here's a bit of a start. I'm so happy with it.
Peace of Christ to you,
Jessica Snell

It is lovely, Jessica.
Beautiful work! When I was on altar guild, we called them "Credence Table Cloths" :)
Thank you, Emily!
