Durr Freedley: an American master in an English art.
Many of our people have already seen the beautiful white Frontlet, Burse and Veil which have been given for the Chapel of All Saints and have been in use during the Easter season. They furnish an example of the highest possibilities of Church embroidery and deserve most careful examination and study. The design was especially made by Mr. Durr Friedley [later Freedley] of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the work was done by the Sisters of Saint John Baptist at their House on East Seventeenth street.
