in the Parish Hall of St. John's Episcopal Church. The needlework project was inaugurated by Sister Marie Pia, a Catholic nun of the Belgian Order of Filles de Marie (Daughters of Mary), who was in charge of a workshop in her convent in Port au Prince, Haiti, in which Haitian women were hired to make beautiful embroidery. Since it is said there are 50 people available for each job in Haiti, it was Sister Pia's dream to provide work for her people, to help them to help themselves. In 1967, when there were 20 women employed in her workshop, the shy nun made her first trip to the United States, looking for additional orders.
Orders were taken in Texas, Tennessee and Washington, D.C., and today there are 125 women employed in the workshop. Unfortunately, Sister Pia was killed in an automobile accident in Haiti in March 1971. The convent decided to keep the workshop open as a memorial to her. She had trained her good friend from school days, Ramonde Dambreville, to be her assistant.

There are beautiful butterflies, birds and animals worked into the designs. Linens are also designed to order, to match china patterns, wallpaper or upholstery designs.
