Eleanor Walsh's sewing thesis, a graduation requirement, is a paper book with hand drawn patterns and handwritten explanations of pattern making and garment construction. It includes sample miniature cotton and muslin garments and wax paper pattern pieces used to construct some of them. Sister Virginia Jung, OSB prepared the transcript of the text of the paper book.

The papers of Sister Arnoldine Schwarz, OSB consist of personal data, academic records, personal correspondence, needlework samples and patterns. There are samplers of a type of lacemaking called tatting and of Swedish embroidery on cotton huck towels.

Within this collection of felt banners there is a set of banners made for the church year, banners with phrases associated with the church and encouraging faith, and banners with religious symbols. Common symbols in this collection include the white dove, the Chi Ro symbol, and the symbols for the Lord's Supper like wheat, grapes, and a chalice. Sister Georgine created banners throughout her life using a combination of felt and burlap.
