Opus Angelicanum (or English work if my high school Latin hasn't totally failed me) is medieval ecclesiastical embroidery, highly prized at the time.

By the way, there is an organization devoted to ecclesiastical embroidery education. They apparently hold embroidery classes in the mountains of North Carolina.
