Our faith community, Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, PA has a relationship with LaCroix New Testament Mission in Haiti. Recently, friends visited Haiti and taught a small group of young women from the mission to hand-paint silk.  The group is known as La Femme de LaCroix (The Women of the Cross).  They have now learned how to paint, process, package, and keep records for the project.  The goal is to provide training for the girls, who also get tuition credit for the silk they produce.  The mission receives the entire profit from the sale of the scarves made from this silk.  We have purchased some of the exciting hand dyed silk to encourage the women of LaCroix in their small business and to include it in the design of a series of stoles for purchase through the Carrot Top Studio website.  Fifty percent of the sale of each stole will be given to support the ministry to this Haitian community to help it continue to grow to become healthy and strong.

Celebrate creation and God's promises when you wear this unique stole. The dove of peace, the rainbow, the plants and the charming animals will visually make a commection for those that you lead in worship.
 
Stole is 51" long from the neck to the hem and the fabrics are cotton and cotton blends in addition to the silk from Haiti. The design includes hand painted details. This limited edition only has one remaining stole in the series.

The star on this stole shines brightly on Christ's manger.  A well loved story full of symbolism during the season that spend preparing to celebrate Christ's birth.  The star reminds us of the Magi that would eventually be led to worship at the side of the Holy Child.  The image of the babe in the manger is of course the prince of peace that came to this world to fulfill a promise and provide us hope.
 
The stole front is crafted from the softest, variegated, purple cotton. The symbols are appliqued and finished with machine embroidery.  The straw in the manger is a bit of textural multicolored threads-a nice touch! It is lined with the same cotton fabric as the front. Stole is 50 1/2" long measuring from back of neck to the bottom of the hem on one side.   It measures 4 1/4" wide at the hem and tapers to 2 1/2" at the neck.

This white poly blend stole has beautiful white on white stripes woven into the fabric. It is embellished with a shell to recall the sacrament of Baptism and three droplets of water as a reminder of the Trinity. It is lined in a white cotton even weave fabric and interfaced to add body.
 
It is 55" long, 4 1/4" wide tapering to 2 1/2" wide at neck.
 
There are slight variations in the coloring of the hand dyed silk in each stole. Each one is unique!

This olive green stole created out of 100% mottled cotton fabric is embellished with a ChiRho cross.  The woven pattern of the appliqued silk is a whimsical reference to a fishing net.  The additional image of one fish recalls the ancient secret Christian symbol and finishes off the visual message of Christ calling us to be fishers of men (and women and children!).  
 
It is 53" long and is 4 1/4" wide tapering to 2 1/2" at the neck.
