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 --

A New Scrappy Baby Quilt

My girlfriend has 2 granddaughters and is expecting a grandson.  She asked me to create something special!  Here it is!

I have made many quilts using orange and purple.  But purple didn't seem to be a good color for a little boy.  So, here I have combined dark green and shocking orange!

Bold Colors

My daughters have been telling me for a long time that it's time to make a beautiful quilt for my own bed!  so, I got to work, in honor of our 42nd anniversary (it's hard to believe!) and Ron's birthday, which is quite a milestone, and I created this quilt.  The pattern is similar to the one that I made for Dahlia's bed, a few years ago (also a convergence quilt).

How to:
take 17 X 21" pieces of 2 contrasting fabrics and cut them in strips -- 1.5", 2.5", 3", 3.5", 5", 5.5".  Then put them together in descending and ascending order.  Isn't the effect stupendous?
