June 2008 UPDATE: My mom seems to be taking a vacation, whether permanent or temporary is unclear, from her stole pursuits. She currently has two white stoles not pictured that are suitable (in my opinion) for weddings or other special services where you would want a white stole (there must be some sort of liturgical need for white stoles, yes?). Anyway, thanks for looking at the Mom Stole Gallery. She is so sweet – she ended up selling many of her stoles at absurdly low prices just because she didn’t want to turn people down who she thought were doing such very exciting ministry. Very sweet, but I think perhaps not encouraging of a long-term stole business-ministry.
p.s. I looked up the need for white stoles on wikipedia, and here we have it – white is suitable for
- Christmastide (from Christmas day to the Baptism of the Lord)
- Easter season
- Holy Thursday
- Feasts of Our Lord other than of his Passion
- Feasts of Our Lady[2]
- Feasts of the Angels
- Feast of St. John the Apostle
- Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul
- Nativity of St. John the Baptist
- Feast of All Saints
- Feasts of Non-martyred Saints
- Weddings
Many of these aren’t typical Unitarian Universalist celebrations, but neither of her white stoles have symbols on them, so they are suitable for all traditions where a stole is needed.

Made by my mom! She didn’t ask me to advertise them, but gosh darn it, they are just so lovely that I had to show them off here. Some of these were specially made for individuals, some are my own that she made for me, and others are still for sale. They are very comfortable and just lovely.
