In the 1980s, Sister Alice Lawler from the Sisters of Divine Providence in Center oversaw the production of a large embroidery of the Virgin of Guadalupe for the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Alamosa. Designed by a single nun, Sister Angelo Lobato, and stitched by a group of parishioners, the colcha embroidery of the Virgin of Guadalupe is thought to be the largest example of contemporary colcha embroidery in the San Luis Valley.
