The Public is invited to join us at a Community Fair at Kol Haneshama on June 15th

Table Runners

We sold a quilt and a table runner yesterday!  It is so satisfying when other people appreciate the work that we are doing!  One woman especially liked the bold colors.

Here are two new table runners, both integrating Bedouin embroidery -- 

one using purples and pinks,

and another one in green, orange and brown.

More Changing Pads

My daughter keeps asking me for more changing pads.  Currently, she's using 5 --

one for changing the two-year-old on the rug in her room -- you wouldn't want to pick her up and put her on a changing table, she's already getting big!

one for the changing table for the infant twins

one for the diaper bag,

one for the living room for putting down one infant when burping and playing

a fifth is always ready for when one of the other changing pads goes into the laundry! 

Here are two new changing pads which are just pure fun!

Coexistence Quilts

In honor of the coming of springtime, I have been emerging from my winter cocoon and getting back to work on my quilting!  Here is my latest quilt which has cheery springtime flowers.  The quilt incorporates a major element of Palestinian embroidery, made by the women at "Desert Embroidery", a non-profit organization for the betterment of Bedouin women in Laquiya.

More Projects integrating Bedouin Embroidery

Here are two items that I recently made --

the first is a wall hanging that i made for my niece's home.  it includes a stunning piece of Bedouin embroidery purchased from the women in Laquiya.

this second item is adapted from an Arab dress that my friends in the Galilee found in a second-hand shop!  I turned it into a covering for the orthopedic pillow on my rocking chair!

It's a Miracle!

We are so grateful and so proud of our daughter's twins, born at Hadassah Ein Kerem!

Here they are covered with Savta's small quilts, keeping them cozy on the day they came home from the hospital!

More Covers for the Shabbat Hot Plate

Here are more examples of quilted shabbat plateh covers!  The first two are simple squares. 

This is a changing pad -- based on a log cabin pattern that we found in 101 Log Cabin Blocks by Linda Causee (published 1997).
