The Latest From Shifra

Shifra isn't always able to join us on Monday's because of a full time job.  But this doesn't stop her passion for quilting.  This is her latest and it's great.

 

This Is So True

Of course he wants a quilt!

Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt

Are you doing Bonnie Hunter's Mystery quilt?  How is it coming along?  A few of us in Israel are following along and enjoying it very much.  We will show you are progress from time to time.

By the way, you can now see her last quilt-cam for 2014 which was very upbeat and fun.  Just go to her Quiltville blog and you can connect on the very top.  Just look for quilt-cam.

Quilt Being Used

I just love it when we get feed back about our comfort quilts.  This quilt was donated to an IDF soldier that was injured.  His baby was trying it out.

Happy Chanukah

 

I found this picture on the internet.  I don't know if it's real or computer generated, but I thought it was cute.

Mini Quilts

Susan has just finished these beautiful mini quilts.  She enjoys hand quilting so much and we can enjoy the results of her work.  They are just terrific.

 

A Long Project

Renee has started a very long time project.  It will be a quilt or tablecloth when it's finished.  It's great that Renee can take this with her everywhere and work on it a little at a time.

The Birch Quilt

Sara has been working on this Birch quilt recently.  It's still in the process but moving along.  It has been sandwiched and is ready for quilting.  Beautiful, beautiful quilt.

This is the interesting back.

We like to sandwich all our quilts on my dinning room table.  Here Sara is deciding what thread to quilt it with. I'm so glad I brought this table over from America.

The Mystery Quilt Has Begin

Four ladies in our group, including me, have started Bonnie Hunters Mystery quilt.  I'll show you our progress as we go along.  We are all excited about doing this.  It's our first Mystery quilt.

 

 

 

I'm using the Easy Angle ruler for the first time.  I'll let you know if I like it.

Thank You Bonnie Hunter

While I was waiting for the Mystery Quilt to begin on Quiltville, I started this.  Bonnie was making a quilt on her Quiltcam for a baby that is due very soon.  I already had the 9 patches so I said why not.  Within 2 days I had the top done.  I don't know when it will be quilted but this will be a wonderful comfort quilt for a little boy.  I really like the way it turned out.  This picture just shows the blocks on my design wall.  I decided to make one extra row to make it longer.

Something New

I tried something new.  I made all the shashing strips from crumbs.  Little pieces of fabric that I would put in the trash.  This top was given to the Unity Quilters and they will finish it.  I really like the way it came out.  I'll have to keep using my crumbs from now on.  Also, Terry from the Unity Quilters took our reversible jeans quilt.  All the soldiers quilts will be given out very soon.

A Soldiers Quilt

This quilt will be going to an IDF soldier very soon.  The top was donated to us from "The Two Spies".  We hope it will help in his healing.

 

A Soldiers String Quilt

Another string quilt has been completed.  It will be going to an IDF soldier.  We hope he or she will enjoy it.  It's our way of showing our appreciation for all our soldiers do for us.

A Wonderful Guest

Meet Terry our special guest.  She came quite a distance to join us.  Our group donated 3 quilts and 1 quilt top.  Terry and her fellow quilters will be delivering them to IDF soldiers that have been injured.  I hope to show you the quilts over the next few days.

I Like to Straighten The Bolds Of Fabric

No, I seem to start straightening the bolts of fabric.  Everything should be orderly.  Do you have this problem too?

Advertisments

Please ignore any advertisements that appear on our blog.  They are not endorsed by us.  Thank you.

Another Finsihed Quilt From Rina

Rina has completed another darling quilt.  It is so soft and cuddly.  I would love a quilt like this.  It would be interesting to know how this type of fabric is made.  Great job Rina.  Keep them coming.

Thank You Rina

Rina has donated this little quilt top for our comfort quilt collection.  It will go to a little princess just like you see in the fabric.  The quilting is finished and it's ready to go.  Thank you so, so much Rina.

Tiffilin Bag

Renee has just finished this lovely Tiffilin bag.  I think it will be the first of many to come.  It's so, so special.

 This has has been a very difficult week for us.  So much sorrow and pain.  We must continue to do for others as we heal. We want to bring joy to others.

A Bar Mitzvah Quilt

My daughter's oldest son just had his Bar Mitzvah and I was able to finish his his quilt on time.  He's a big boy now and he needed a new quilt.

 

Wedding Quilt

The daughter of our dear friend

Rochel, was recently married.  So what do quilters do?  They make quilts for the bride and groom. We hope they will enjoy this lap quilt for many years.

Nothing Will Work

Even a patch won't help, so just keep on QUILTING.

Penguin Quilt

One of the ladies in our group is looking for this pattern.  If anyone has it, could you please share?  It's in the book PATCHWORK QUILTS TO MAKE FOR CHILDREN by Margaret Rolfe.  It's no longer in print.

You can reach Bryna at

94 Half Square Triangles

Our friend at the "2 Spies" has donated 94 half square triangles.  I've squared them up and now they are ready to go.  Any suggestions on what pattern to use?

Trying Out A New Pattern

Sara is trying out a new pattern.  You can see it on the left side of the picture.  These are really beautiful fabrics.   I'd like to try out this pattern too.

A Flannel Quilt

Sara is busy getting this flannel quilt finished.  It's so soft and cuddly.

Quilt For Someone Special

The ladies have been working on a quilt for a special friend.  We are quilting it now and it should be finished soon.  I love the Autumn colors.

A Fantastic Quilt

It isn't finished yet, but what a wonderful quilt.  The top is done and it's ready to be sandwiched.  Sara, your quilt is fabulous. 

I hope to post this quilt again when it has been quilted.

Flowers

I'm always amazed that every Friday before Shabbos these flowers are sitting on this corner with no one around.  It's the honor system and it works. There is a little box to put your money in after you pick out your flowers. It's wonderful to live in Israel.

 

What Do Quilters Like To Carry?

You just never know when you will need it.

Pissott

Erez, the co-owner of Pissott, is amazing.  He follows his dreams.  Erez wanted a batik shirt. So what's a fellow to do when you can't find what you want?.  He took a sewing class and made it himself.  Be sure to ask him about it when you visit the next time.

Quilters Are Terrific

The next time you are on Facebook, look up a new group called

QUILTS FOR ISRAEL'S WOUNDED WARRIORS

These women are doing wonderful work.  They have made and delivered 13 quilts, so far, to IDF soldiers that are still in the hospital.  Here are pictures of their visit to Tel Hashomer.
