Wow, another quilting blogger (or pair of bloggers, I should say) in Jerusalem. This makes three, I think! I am a quilter in Neve Yaakov, and look forward to seeing more of what you ladies are working on. I like what I have seen so far!
I have several bags made by Amy and one made by Hana. They are unique, special, personal, and made beautifully -- lined, pockets, heavy fabrics, gorgeous colors. I use my sports bag every time I go to the gym (it's the best part about exercising).
are Jerusalem quilters who have been quilting together since 2003. During this time, we have been sharing inspiration, equipment, and fabrics!
It took us a long time to learn how to appreciate what colors go together, how to choose darker fabrics to be more dominant features, and how to make sure that each and every project is unique and remarkable.
Baby gifts and so much more!
We have developed an entire repertoire of different styles, colors and sizes of baby quilts with matching changing pads. We have also created larger quilts for youth, single, or double beds, chuppot, and tote bags!
We offer: baby quilts in two sizes -- -- for the baby carriage -- 24 X 34 inches -- for the crib -- 36 X 44 inches playmats -- 36 inches square changing pads -- 18 X 24 inches
toddler bed quilts - 44 X 60 inches
youth quilts (for children up to age 8) - 54 X 72 inches.
In addition, we make TV or couch quilts, 44 X 60 inches.
All sizes are approximate!
All of our baby quilts are 100% cotton and fully washable.
Washable, but not 100% cotton -- coexistence quilts and changing pads.

Coexistence Quilts
For a long time we have been interested in the subject of mutual respect and understanding between Jews and Arabs, all within Israel. We decided that our quilting should reflect this attitude and, as a result, we created what we are calling our "coexistence quilts" -- quilts that are made jointly by Jewish and Palestinian women. These quilts include an embroidered central element made by the women of "Desert Embroidery" of Laqiya which is a non-profit organization for the empowerment of Bedouin women in the northern Negev. The organization provides the women with a framework for getting together, hearing lectures about a wide array of subjects, and embroidering all sorts of projects for sale in their shop.
In order to see examples of these quilts, choose "coexistence quilts" from the index below.
I love your bags. congratulations. hugs

ReplyDeleteEllen, it's a pleasure making bags for you because you are so appreciative! I'll have to develop a new line so that I can make one for you!
