A beautiful wedding gift!

Here is another "coexistence quilt" that was commissioned by a Palestinian woman as a wedding gift.  This is a double bed quilt which includes two large pieces of maroon embroidery.  One piece was purchased from the Bedouin women at Desert Embroidery in Laquiya and the other was purchased from a shopkeeper in the Old City of Jerusalem. I was attracted by the combination of two different styles of embroidery.

Cars and Trucks

Isn't this the cutest little boy crib quilt!  It's so much fun, bright, and bold! 

I purposefully made the squares larger than usual because I didn't want to cut the great pictures.  Note the dark blue fireman fabric used for the border.  Together with the sashing -- white dots on baby blue -- the whole thing gained so much life! 

All the fabrics were purchased at a shop on King George St, downtown Jerusalem.

Table Runner

This coffee table quilted runner includes a piece of Bedouin embroidery, purchased at the shop called Desert Embroidery in Laquiya.  The choice of surrounding fabrics is meant to complement the embroidery. 

This is part of my line of "coexistence" quilts which represents my desire for drawing attention to my prayer that we will all learn to live together -- Jews and Arabs -- in this land.
