Not sure what to say?

Yours is the voice in my head whenever I construct a vestment. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me the confidence to work for God.

Bunny taught me everything I know about making church vestments. She patiently responded to any question I sent her via email, made brilliant suggestions about design, and never failed to be encouraging, funny, and kind.

It was always a pleasure visiting Bunny. She was such a wealth of information. I will sure miss her guidance and friendship

Bunny was so helpful to me with multiple vestment projects over the last fifteen or so years. Her kind and copious advice saved me much trouble, and I am so glad to have been able to meet her in person in August 2023 while I was in Connecticut. May the Lord grant her eternal rest and joy in his presence!

Bunny was so helpful to me when I was first assigned the job of sewing linens for our church here in Lakewood, WA. She guided me through the trauma of handling real linen, all that embroidery. She was wonderfully kind and patient.

I was asked to create altar paraments and linens for our Lutheran church in 2021.

She left such...

I just now learned of Elizabeth's death. I am truly sorry. She always seemed such an indomitable spirit I just couldn't imagine the world without her in it. I communicated numerous times with Elizabeth with regard to linen projects over many years and she was a wonderful help, sharing her knowledge and experience so generously. She will be very sadly missed. RIP

I had the privilege of meeting Elizabeth in May 2023. She welcomed me and my friend and gave us wonderful support and advice as we embarked upon our first liturgical project: Lenten Paraments & Vestments. Without her we would have wandered in the dark. She was a gift from God.
