A New T-shirt Quilt

Things are opening up and frankly, it's quite scary.  Who knows what's going to happen.  I just pray that all of us will stay healthy.

Here's my latest -- a t-shirt quilt made for my daughter's new home.  They bought a great ground-floor apartment with a wrap-around garden, not far from us!  Wishing them many years of happiness and health in their new home!

The Calm of Quilting

In these uncertain times, I have been finding a lot of peaceful comfort and calm in my quilting.  This new quilt was actually begun months ago, and now finally I found enough time and energy to complete it.  It is made up of 4" squares of a specialty fabric that has golden marbling running through it.  Sort of regal!

The quilt is meant for my grand-daughter's upcoming 5th birthday!  Wouldn't it be nice to be able to hug her and give it to her in person?

Placemats for the Springtime

It's a crazy time in the world, but at least nothing is stopping me from quilting!  This set of 8 placemats is made specially for my sister!  They are cheery and bright, just right for the soul!

Purim means Springtime is not far behind

Winter never really came to Jerusalem this year.  There was lots of rain, but not really cold, wintry days.  And now with the corona virus turning our lives upside down, things seem so very out of place.  It's funny that when springtime comes you usually want to get out of the house!  But instead I am feeling that I want to stay home and hibernate.  So, right away I turned to my quilting projects and I finished this twin bed quilt as a gift for a friend's daughter. 

It is made in the "scrappy" style, combining purples, green and gold   The scrappy style is actually a version of the classical 9-patch.  If you look closely, you can see that each square is made up of 9 pieces, albeit cut in various directions.

Here it is!!

Happy Holidays!!

I made these place mats for my New York daughter and her family for the holidays!!!  Shhh!  They haven't seen these yet since they are away visiting relatives in Chicago!!

Special thanks to my friend, Elaine, who gifted me so many fabrics which can be seen here!

Tote Bags

I've been away from my favorite Bernina sewing machine which does wonderful quilting!  Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to insult my wonderful Viking sewing machine which has lots of bells and whistles!  I have been making great tote bags as gifts, using the different settings on the Viking, and I've been having lots of fun!

This one is for Aunt Cheryl --
