Pastor Shmid

Pastor Schmid has been creating pastoral stoles for 32 years. After she and her husband, The Reverend Steven E. Broome, Associate Pastor of Our Redeemer, were ordained, she soon realized how expensive clerical garments were. That’s when she began to weave their pastoral stoles on a 48” square loom. It wasn’t until 2012 that she tried her hand at designing and creating hand appliqued stoles when an intern at Our Redeemer wanted a stole depicting Noah’s Ark.

Pastor Schmid’s artistic endeavors do not end there. The decorations and props she creates for each church season enhance the worship experience, but the beautiful stoles, sewn from mainly brightly colored batik fabrics, are truly inspiring.“ With each stitch I am thinking of the scripture that inspired the piece I am creating,” she said.
When her son, Wes, was married, she created three identical stoles for the occasion. She gifted two of the stoles to the pastors who officiated at the wedding, but just had to make one for herself. This is the stole she wears while officiating at weddings at Our Redeemer. These stoles were inspired by the Song of Solomon.

Pastor Schmid will be available at the show on Friday April 27 from 1-3 p.m. to meet and greet attendees and discuss her exquisite creations.

The Three Rivers 2018 Quilt Show will be held at the Meadows Race Track and Casino again this year on April 26, 27 and 28. There is plenty of free parking in the South Garage and the show will be on the lower level in the Triple Crown Suites. There will be approximately 150 quilts on display, many vendors, Granny’s Attic with lots of reasonably priced treasures, quilt-themed basket raffles, and, of course, a beautiful raffle quilt.
