Touring with Madeleine

Last week, I went to visit my Bedouin women friends at Desert Embroidery in Laquiya, in the northern Negev.  These are the women who make the stunning embroidery that I integrate into my "coexistence quilts". 

I drove down together with Madeleine Lavine, a well-known and well-regarded tour guide. It was her first visit to the Desert Embroidery shop in Laquiya.  Take a look at her write-up of our visit, which she posted on her blog entitled Touring with Madeleine.   There is even a photo of me talking with Na'ama Elsana'a, the director of the non-profit organization for the empowerment of Bedouin women, which runs the Desert Embroidery shop.  According to Madeleine, I was practicing some of my elementary Arabic when she took this picture!

Cheering up your home on a cold winter day!

During the last few days, we have been under siege here in Jerusalem, while a minor storm raged outside.  While cooped up at home, I made this set of four placemats and matching table runner as a gift for my son-in-law's parents who are celebrating two major life cycle events!  May they have much nachas and good health!

Happy New Year!

It's a new year!  May it bring joy and blessings to all of our quilting friends!  It's a rainy day here in Jerusalem and I am looking forward to a cozy day with one of my quilting friends who is coming over to plan her new project!

Take a look at this recent baby quilt, filled with butterflies!
