Shanah Tovah!

Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year to all my quilting friends around the world!

I have been making small baby gifts -- all of which are for sale.  Here is a carriage quilt with 2 alternative matching diaper pads, using 4" square.

And here is a cute little pink carriage quilt in the scrappy style.  Small and cuddly and delicious!  All our baby quilts are 100% cotton.

Summer Camp t-shirts

It's not so easy to come up with creative birthday gifts, especially as our kids get older!  One of my daughters worked at Camp Ramah (in Palmer, Massachusetts) for many years and has collected an impressive and colorful collection of t-shirts from those years!  Her husband suggested a double bed quilt for their guestroom -- made from all the t-shirts -- which was a great idea! I got to work right away in order to have it ready for her birthday, which is Erev Sukkot!  Here it is!

Bedouin Embroidery

Yesterday, I made another visit to Laqiya, to see the women of "Desert Embroidery" 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.  I brought them another one of my "coexistence quilts" which incorporates a piece of their embroidery as a central element.  They were eager to receive it and to make it available for sale in their shop!

This is the quilt that they are offering for sale --
