Selling Our Quilts at the Jerusalem International YMCA

We  took part in a multi-cultural fair at the Jerusalem YMCA today!  Hana sold a lot of products.  Amy didn't have so much luck.

Wall Hanging

My sister and her husband are becoming snowbirds!  They bought a house with a pool on Sanibel Island and have asked me to make them something special for their walls.  First thing I did -- I went to Laquiya to order pieces of Bedouin embroidery in turquoise and gold.   I used the embroidery as four corners around a central Florida sunburst, and two long pieces of embroidery, on the sides.

Happy Birthday!

Hana's granddaughter in Austin is turning 4-years-old!  Here is the beautiful quilt that Hana made for her birthday!  Filled with pastels, it is soothing for cuddling and sleeping.  Sweet dreams!

The quilt is made from 4 inch squares and measures approximately 54" X 80".

Hot off the Press!!

We went together to pick up our embroidery order at Desert Embroidery in Laquiya and talked with the women about helping them create a new "line" of products -- baby quilts that include their embroidery.  They gave us a few samples of embroidery to use in the first few quilts, which they want to sell in their shop.

Here is the first one!!!  It has calming colors and has a flannel backing.

More Quilts and Cozies

We have been hard at work, designing and making more baby quilts, table runners, and microwave cozies.  We have also been selling lots of pieces!  If you are looking for baby gifts or hostess gifts for Pesach -- give us a call!

Here are some examples --

Visit to Laquiya

I had a wonderful visit this week with the women who run the non-profit organization called The Association for the Improvement of the Status of Women, which is located in Laquiya.  They told us all about their projects, one of which is a young leadership development program, and a wonderful young woman is the director of that program (she is also a graduate of the program).  Other projects include a mobile library and, of course, the embroidery project, called Desert Embroidery.

I bought lots of pieces of embroidery for my coexistence quilts and table runners.  And the friends who came with us also bought lots of pieces.  More importantly, I ordered embroidery pieces for a wall hanging for my sister's new home in Sanibel Island on the west coast of Florida!  Can't wait for these pieces to arrive so that I can get to work on this big project.

Here you can see a table runner, made with one of the pieces that I bought this week!

Turquoise Couch Quilt

If you love the color turquoise, then this quilt has your name on it! It is made with 3" strips.
