New Coexistence Quilt

 This quilt turned out to be a stunning work of art, all due to the wonderful embroidery provided by the Bedouin women at Desert Embroidery at Laquiya in the northern Negev.  I also like the peacock fabric which surrounds the embroidery.  

Armrest covers

 We recently had our carpets cleaned and our TV chair shampooed.  The occasion simply required the making of matching armrest covers for our TV chair.  I chose similar pieces of Bedouin embroidery as the central motif and the rest flowed from that!

Happy Birthday

 Amy's oldest granddaughter is turning 11 this month, and her absolutely favorite pastime is reading.   Here is a couch quilt in the crazy style with a cozy flannel backing for curling up with a book on a cold winter day.  Can you tell that her favorite color is purple?

Funky Placemats

My sister asked me to make a set of  placemats as a gift for her daughter-in-law.  Now, the truth is that I've been doing a lot of quilting during this period and I don't have big pieces of fabric left on my shelf.  Everyone tells me to order fabric on-line from Pissot, a great shop at the Bilu junction.  But I find it very hard to choose fabric on-line. So, instead, I decided to create something funky from remnants!  This is a set of 8 placemats, each one different, but all obviously part of one set.

Baby Girl Quilt

This one is for sale!  I've been discovering a lot of calm through my quilting, which is a lifesaver during these strange times.  This quilt was made with some fragments of previous quilts and with a bunch of fat quarters that I had in my stash!

It's a Girl!

This baby quilt was ordered by my friend Bella.  I hope the new mother likes it!

Beautiful Design

My 10-year-old granddaughter has shown real interest in learning how to sew.  In the past, she sewed a number of small items.  Here you can see her first attempt at a real quilt!  It is the size of a couch quilt. She did the design and all the sewing and I did the fancy quilting stitch.  She'll learn the quilting on the next project!  She even learned a bit of embroidery so that she could embroider an inscription to her friend who has a birthday in a few weeks. And let's be honest, no one is taking her to the mall to buy a gift.  So she decided to make one!
