LOCAL PASTOR AND FIBER ARTIST TO BE FEATURED AT THREE RIVERS QUILTERS 2018 QUILT SHOW The exquisite fiber art created by The Reverend Dr. Ann Schmid, Senior Pastor of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in McMurray, will be featured at the Three Rivers Quilters 2018 Quilt Show. 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 says. Pastor Schmid will be available at the show on Friday April 27, from 1 to 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.
