It's Springtime!


The weather is beautiful in Jerusalem. The air is clean, the sky is blue and Pesach cleaning is upon us! I decided that I had to quickly finish this Coexistence Quilt, so that I would have plenty of time to get ready for Pesach! Hope you like this one!

As in previous Coexistence Quilts, I have used the element of stacked bricks to symbolize the building blocks of a joint future together here in Israel.

The quilt is created around a central element which is a unique piece of embroidery made by a Bedouin woman from Laqiya in the northern Negev. These women have gotten together for self-empowerment to create and sell their own embroidery. Their non-profit is called "The Association for the Improvement of the Status of Women: Laqiya" and they run a shop not far from the mosque in Laqiya.

Quilt Cover and Matching Pillowcase


This is our first commission via Elena's store, Etz.lenu b'Hatzer in Abu Ghosh. The order was for a quilt cover and matching pillowcase for a boy's twin bed.

The fabrics and design were chosen in consultation with the customer.

Bedouin Embroidery with Paisley



Last time that I went to Laqiya to buy the embroidered pieces for these "coexistence" quilts, I bought two small matching ones. At the time, I thought I would make a quilt with a matching pillow, but inspiration told me to put the two small pieces together into one quilt. I particularly liked the combination of purple and gold! Click on the image to see it more clearly!
