The Needlepoint Guild
Stitching beauty and devotion into every kneeler and cushion.
What we do
The Needlepoint Guild creates kneelers, chancel and pew cushions, communion rail kneelers, alms basin silencers, wedding kneelers, and pew markers for the church, chapel, and parish house. Pew kneelers are a current project.
Our history
Needlepoint has been part of Calvary since at least the 1960s. In 2004, the Rev. William E. Smyth established the Guild, with committees for design, policy, and standards. Chancel cushions and kneelers, along with the narthex and south porch pew cushions, were completed and dedicated in 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Our design
Most cushions and kneelers have a red background, with a Trinity design along the edges and ivy taken from Calvary Churchyard. Communion rail and wedding kneelers follow their own designs.
