Pinwheels

We were recently asked to prepare a number of diaper pads for a friend who wants to try to sell them.

Isn't this pinwheel design cute?

The diaper pad uses the already quilted ski jacket polyester material as the waterproof backing.

These pinwheels are made by cutting 7" squares of each fabric. Each square is cut in half and the resulting triangles are sewn together, each to the other fabric. So cute and so easy!

We Changed the Clock!

It's hard to imagine that we changed the clock last night to "winter time", so early in September. But this is a crazy country!

Last night, I couldn't get to sleep because I had had a long shabbat nap, so I stayed up late and made this baby quilt from a variety of fabrics with dots! Do you like the combination of orange and green? The size is for a baby carriage or stroller.

A Healthy, Creative and Peaceful New Year to All My Friends

I had a traumatic week -- my sewing machine was in for repairs and I was having a serious case of withdrawal! Two days ago I got the word from the technician that all is now well and I was able to get back into the groove of sewing and quilting.

Here is my latest quilt, based on an idea from my sister-in-law, Ann, that I add some letters and words and symbols to the baby quilts. This one has letters (in Hebrew and English), numbers, and pomegranates for the new year!

Our best wishes to all our quilting friends!
