Lone Star Explores Space
I saw this on Facebook and just have to pass it on.
It was the Viewers Choice in Houston 2016. Called Lone Star Explores Space by Peter Hayward of Javea, Spain
There is a video where he explains how he made this quilt.

Don't Forget The Family
We are always so busy in our sewing rooms that we might just forget those that are depending on us.

A Speical Chuppah
I read this emotional posting from "The Daily Portion" by Sivan Rahav Meir and wanted to share it and the accompanying photo:
The Chuppah of Ori Ansbacher HY"D
Yesterday was the first wedding ceremony held underneath the wedding canopy created in memory of Ori Ansbacher. Immediately after she was murdered in the woods by Ein Yael in Jerusalem, Batsheva Sadan requested for women to send her embroidered squares that they had created in Ori's memory. Over 5,000 (!) women from all around the world created embroidered squares, which Batsheva transformed into an artistic chuppah. Many of those squares were created from fabric that was very significant to those who sent them: from the IDF uniform of a son, from childhood dolls, from treasured keepsakes. Creating this chuppah reminded Batsheva of the women's work in the Tabernacle in the desert. Also back then, sewing was a spiritual pursuit, women joining together to create something holy. Last night, Nadav and Na'ama were married underneath Ori's chuppah, which from now on will accompany couples on their way to establishing new Jewish homes.

Rabbi Eli Adler said: "This is our response to the brutal murder - to
build more homes in Israel, with holiness and joy and gentleness.
Earlier, I looked at the words of a poem written by Ori HY"D about a
'world of peace.' But earlier in that same poem, Ori asks us to: "Make
peace within you." Before you make world peace, you need first to make
inner peace. Within our souls, with those around us, and between husband
and wife. This is what we need to be working on. World peace begins
here, with what is taking place this moment underneath Ori's chuppah. "
