A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) structure, and method of forming same, the structure having internal air flow channels and cooling holes created by the process of sewing or stitching a fugitive fiber or thread into plies of ceramic cloth, preferably prior to consolidation of the ceramic cloth with a CMC slurry, followed by heating to convert the slurry material to a hardened ceramic component part of a predetermined shape. Upon heating the infiltrated and consolidated ceramic cloth to about between 1100 and 2100 degrees Fahrenheit, such as by hot pressing the structure containing the fugitive fibers therein, the fugitive fibers disintegrate, leaving channels and cooling holes wherever the stitched fugitive fiber or thread was previously located. Thus, the channels and cooling holes flow between plies as well as across the surface of the top and bottom plies.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a structural fiber reinforced porous ceramic matrix composite member having a predetermined pattern of cooling holes and channels therein, the cooling holes and channels formed by a process comprising the steps of: providing at least one ply of ceramic fiber material; stitching at least one fugitive thread through the at least one ply of ceramic fiber material in at least one preselected pattern; infiltrating the ceramic fiber material with a ceramic slurry; consolidating the infiltrated ceramic fiber material; and sintering the laminated and infiltrated ceramic fiber material at a temperature sufficient to decompose the at least one fugitive thread but not sufficient to damage the ceramic fiber material, leaving at least one hole and at least one channel in the ceramic matrix composite component member in place of the at least one fugitive thread. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the ceramic fiber material is selected from the group consisting of ceramic paper, ceramic cloth, and ceramic felt. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the fugitive thread is comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of nylon, polyester, rayon, cotton, and carbon fiber. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising of the step of inking the predetermined pattern on at least one ply prior to the step of stitching. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of infiltrating the ceramic fiber material is performed prior to the step of stitching at least one fugitive thread through the at least one ply of ceramic fiber material in a preselected pattern. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein the at least one ply of ceramic material is comprised of a plurality of stacked plies. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising the step of combining a plurality of stitched plies having similar stitching patterns and offsetting the stitched plies from each other prior to performing the step of consolidating. 8. The method of claim 6, further comprised of the step of combining a plurality of stitched plies having different stitching patterns prior to performing the step of consolidating. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein the step of consolidating is performed at a preselected pressure of at least 200 psi and a temperature of at least 300째 F. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the step of sintering is performed at a preselected temperature in the range of between about 1100째 F. to about 2100째 F. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the holes and channel have an average diameter in the range of about 0.003 inches to about 0.020 inches. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the resulting composite matrix composite member has an air flow rate of about 7횞10-4 pps/in2 (at a constant pressure ratio of 1.2 P/Patm). 13. A method of manufacturing a structural fiber reinforced porous ceramic matrix composite member having a predetermined pattem of cooling holes and channels therein, the cooling holes and channels formed by a process comprising the steps of: providing at least one ply of ceramic fiber material; stitching at least two fugitive threads through the at least one ply of ceramic fiber material in at least one preselected pattem, the at least two fugitive threads comprising a needle thread and a bobbin thread; infiltrating the ceramic fiber material with a ceramic slurry; consolidating the infiltrated ceramic fiber material; and sintering the laminated and infiltrated ceramic fiber material at a temperature sufficient to decompose the at least two fugitive threads but not sufficient to damage the ceramic fiber material, leaving at least two channels in the ceramic matrix composite component member in place of the at least two fugitive threads. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the ceramic fiber material is selected from the group consisting of ceramic paper, ceramic cloth, and ceramic felt. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the fugitive threads are comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of nylon, polyester, rayon, and carbon fiber. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising of the step of inking the predetermined pattern on at least one ply prior to the step of stitching. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the step of infiltrating the ceramic fiber material is performed prior to the step of stitching at least two fugitive threads through the at least one ply of ceramic fiber material in a preselected pattern. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the at least one ply of ceramic material is comprised of a plurality of stacked plies. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising the step of combining a plurality of stitched plies having similar stitching patterns and offsetting the stitched plies from each other prior to performing the step of consolidating. 20. The method of claim 18, further comprised of the step of combining a plurality of stitched plies having different stitching patterns prior to performing the step of consolidating.
