So what is different about these stoles and banners?
These stoles and banners aren't just cloth/felt shapes and text applied to banners/fabric with some fringe on the edges. What you receive is original, fine art created by the artist. With printed art, there are unlimited colors and we'll even print text in other languages at no additional charge, including Asian texts, Cyrillic, Greek and many other foreign fonts. For the most common languages, we'll even do brief translations. Please feel free to compare art work and prices by looking at Google: church banners or liturgical stoles.

Just send us a photo of the area of your church where you plan on hanging your banners and we will hang them virtually to make sure they are just what you want!
Full Length Ministerial and Deacon's Stoles
and
Shorter Visitation Stoles, Choir Stoles and Graduation Stoles
The ministerial stoles shown above are ~ 106" long x 5" wide (let us know if you need it a little shorter) made of cotton in a background color that is complimentary to the image you choose. Similar, shorter graduation and choir stoles are ~ 60" long x 5" wide. Each stole is hand made. Images for the stoles are printed on fabric that is approximately 4 inches wide. The art is appliqued onto the stoles using transparent thread. If necessary, the stoles can be gently washed by hand in cold water and mild soap. (Do not machine wash.) They also can be ironed with a dry iron on the reverse side. Please remember that these are works of art and we recommend that you take them off before the social hour or the potluck meal after worship services.
For Deacons: Please indicate if you just want a straight stole without the neck line. Stitching will be attached at the hip line if you request it to link the two pieces. Want a convertible Deacon to Priest stole? Just ask for it. It is only $5 extra to make the convertible stole.

The background of the image (and reflecting the "all ye lands" theme) was painted after being inspired by the brilliant and beautiful strata in the hills in Death Valley (awful name for a beautiful place). The creation of this set was inspired by a worship service at the First Congregational Church of Berkeley (United Church of Christ), my California home church, where there was a wonderful Sunday hymn sing. (I receive a majority of my inspiration for new pieces from going to worship and actually listening to the sermons.)
