Embroidery for Religion and Ceremonial by Beryl Dean
This work by a leading authority on church embroidery gives practical guidance on the making and embroidering of vestments for use within the Protestant, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Jewish religions.

After a brief history of church embroidery and symbolism, the chapters cover the preparation of patterns and the construction and decoration of vestments, soft furnishings for the church and altar linen. Various embroidery methods are illustrated and described and there are chapters on commissioned work and group projects.
