On her return from England, un-
der Bishop Satterlee's enthusiastic
sponsorship, she founded the Wash
ington Cathedral Altar Guild, which
completed the celestial embroidery
for the Bethlehem Chapel in time
for its opening as place of wor-
ship. Then came the outfitting OF
the magnificent College of Preach
ers' Chapel Altar in the Cathedral.
Another achievement was the de-
sign and execution of the radiant
composition of blue and gold which
constitutes the background for the
holy table in the Chapel of St.
Joseph of Arimathea. Her master
piece is perhaps the Jerusalem altar
in the Cathedral proper and the i'm
posing dossal back of the high altar.
Miss Mackrille is justly proud that
IN race against time her flying
fingers were able to complete the
frontal for the high altar in the Ca
thedral SO that it was ready for
Bishop Angus Dun's conservation.
In its execution, she utilized price
less piece of 18th century material
which was a gift to the Cathedral
from Miss Belle Burnee.
She is the inventor of a special
embroidery stitch for gold embroid-
cry, in which some of her most
beautiful effects have been
achieved.

broidery silks and interesting books
and pictures concerning her art.
Scarcely day passes that does not
bring her heavy mail, from all over
this country and abroad, seeking
information on church embroidery.
This silver-haired craftswoman is
the author of informative books, "A
Handbook for Altar Guilds" and
Church Embroidery and Vest
ments." Both have already gone
into several editions.
Cites Bible on Cloths.
Altar embroideries express as
surely as do mans attributes in other
handicrafts, that most ancient of
spiritual yearnings, the desire to
worship our Creator" Miss Mack
rifle says. Their origin goes back
to the Old Testiment, as it is said in
Numbers iv.1l: And upon the gold
end altar. thou shall spread a cloth
of blue"
She also quotes from Exodus
xxxv.25: And of the blue and purple
and scarlet they made cloths of serv-
ice to do service in the holy place,
and made the holy garments for
Aaron, as the Lord commanded
Moses"
Even the actual technique Of bibli-
cal altar embroidery before the time
of our Lord is noted in this excerpt
from Exodus xXxix.3. she points out:
And they did beat the gold into
thin plates, and cut it into wires.
to work it into the blue and into the
purple, and in the scarlet, and in
the fine linen with cunning work"
Miss Mackrille hadn't the Slight
est expectation of becoming the en-
broidery specialist she is today. She
was serving as secretary to Bishop
Satterlee, the first Bishop of
Washington, and writing special
features for The Star in anticipa-
ton of becoming a journalist. With
the Cathedral, then in its embryonic
stage, st. Marks Church, at Third
and A streets Sc, was serving as
the pro-Cathedral. One day Bishop
Satterlee said to her, I'VE must
have suitable embroideries for this
sanctuary and for the Cathedral. I
am leaving this matter in your
hands"
In an exploratory capacity she
went over to the All Saints Sisters
in Baltimore, where young orphan
girls were being trained in church
embroidery.
The St. Marks Altar Embroidery
Guild, direct result of this visit, was
organized in 1897 with 10 members.
Next to Washington Cathedral
itself, St. Marks Church has the
most exquisite altar embroideries of
any Episcopal parish in this diocese.
BY this time Miss Mackrille's in
terest in ecclesiastical embroidery
was so great she decided to make it
her life work. For further training.
