Jan Gish

After many years of sewing and making fabric art items, she became interested in making stoles after designing one for her daughter for her ministerial internship. Not only has she found the process enjoyable and very satisfying to her compulsive attention to details, she's discovered there is, surprisingly, a meditative aspect involved in the design and creation. (Akin to a spiritual activity?) If you have a particular color, style, theme, or design in mind, working together can bring into being the perfect stole for you. She's especially interested in working with you to create a one-of-a-kind stole that reflects your special interests; a stole that will mirror the unique values and passions and loves that you bring to your ministry. (And, of course, one that fits the unique proportions of body as well as spirit.)

OR, if you want to just tell her a basic pattern and the colors you like, she'll take over the creative aspect and make a stole that fits comfortably (with a few measurements from you); a stole that looks beautiful and inspired.

She has the skill, time, and creative impulses to also design and make banners, wall hangings, pulpit clothes, and quilted items. If you help her understand a fabric art item you envision, working together, it can be made a reality.

Prices start at $225 plus a shipping and handling fee of $15.
