It seems as though I recall reading about one who was the patron saint of weavers/flax workers or something along those lines.Rachel Colvin Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572701097423667204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247006860420142238.post-62857381892673013932012-08-06T15:47:43.783-05:002012-08-06T15:47:43.783-05:00Thanks, Rosemarie!

He was a martyr and had been shot full of arrows, apparently someone thought that he looked like the pillow full of pins that is used in bobbin lace, and he was named the patron saint for lace workers and lace makers. poor guy. <br />you can buy a sterling silver St Sebastian medal here http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=103 and they may have the other saints as well.Ladytatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333655818263465112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247006860420142238.post-57027754568597896662012-08-06T10:10:51.148-05:002012-08-06T10:10:51.148-05:00Here is a link to a short list of patron saints of...Here is a link to a short list of patron saints of lacemakers. http://saints.sqpn.com/pst00415.htm I noticed that St. Anne, mother of the Blessed Mother, is not on this list. St. Regis is most interesting. He helped to keep girls from "going to the city" by setting them up in lacemaking. <br />Rosemariersmrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154789425205639926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247006860420142238.post-64643716192479491082012-08-06T08:44:59.124-05:002012-08-06T08:44:59.124-05:00I look forward to seeing what you are working on, ...I look forward to seeing what you are working on, sorry I can't help you with any lace saints<br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247006860420142238.post-53870933711423036742012-08-06T08:39:42.536-05:002012-08-06T08:39:42.536-05:00I had read this about Catherine of Alexandria : h...I had read this about Catherine of Alexandria : http://asksistermarymartha.blogspot.com/2011/06/spinning-tale-of-st-catherine.html<br /> And this one:<br /><br />http://catholicetsyartists.blogspot.com/2010/08/st-john-francis-regis-patron-saint-of_29.html<br />LMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274345764787048662noreply@blogger.com
