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. 

Play Mat

These infant play mats are quite the popular item!  This is the second one that got "scooped" up this week!  It is made from 4 inch squares of wonderful cotton fabrics, quilted onto a nylon backing for the floor or rug and measures 36" square.

Playmat for Baby Boy

This quilted playmat measures 33 X 36 inches and features blue fabrics cut into 6 inch squares.  The backing is made from quilted nylon ski jacket material.

Floral Coexistence Quilt

This couch quilt is the latest in our line of "coexistence" quilts!  It features a centerpiece of floral embroidery made by the women at Desert Embroidery, a non-profit organization in the Bedouin town of Laqiya in the northern Negev.  Complementing the embroidery is a quilting element called "building blocks" which are a metaphor for our building a joint future together in this Land.  The quilt measures 44 X 56 inches.
