An issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions devoted to ecclesiastical weaving. Colonel John Fishback describes designing and weaving a 12-foot dossal curtain in 16-thread Summer & Winter units on a 16-harness loom for St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Venice, Florida. Lela Gordon discusses making altar, pulpit and lectern hangings, including fitting them to different churches. Drafts and materials lists follow for a 3-piece altar, pulpit and lectern set (Bergman technique), a 7-step graded cross and a 4-harness cross in crackle weave, and a graded cross in Summer and Winter, with Lily yarn numbers and a source for bullion fringe.
