**Pardon our transition. Time for a new look.
Welcome to the website of the Saint Martha’s Guild. We are working to restore the art of liturgical needlework at Saint John Cantius Church in Chicago, IL. This is our parking place for favorite resources, tutorials, notes and inspiration to keep us going on this fascinating adventure.

Probably everyone who works in this industry is familiar with Elizabeth Morgan and her business, Church Linens and Vestments. Most of you probably also know that she passed to her eternal reward on September 11, 2024. It was a devastating loss. I still find myself wanting to fire questions at her and pick her beautiful brain about so many, many new adventures. She was such a kindred spirit. I miss her terribly.
Especially her wild-hair, quirky habits. You just never could tell what she might do. She entrusted her business and her astonishing body of knowledge to the St. Martha’s Guild. Surprise!
​
So, we have hung out our shingle to sell her beloved linen, ecclesiastical fabrics, patterns, tools, and instruction manuals.
​
Our ongoing task will be to enfold her enormous deposit of information into this website. It is a sobering task, and a delightful privilege. This might take a minute...
​
We’ll start with this page and set out into the deep!
