Parament Patterns: Counted Cross-Stitch Patterns for Altar, Lectern, and Pulpit Hangings, Jeff Wedge, 1987, Morehouse-Barlow Co, comb-bound softcover, 152pp.
18 religious cross stitch designs are provided in this book, as well as extensive background and history of church, altar, lectern, and pulpit hangings. A great feature is the glossary of various parts of the church altar -- for example, you'll learn that a mensa is not just someone with a high IQ! Design charts include such standard icons as the "IHS" symbol, 3 crosses on a hill ("The Road to Calvary"), chi rho, star cross with nimbus, and many more; the meaning and tradition of placement of each design within the sanctuary is clearly explained.
This hard to find book is in like new condition.
