Progress On Sara's Music Quilt

2012-01-31T00:18:00.000+02:00

Sara's latest quilt has been sandwiched and is ready to be quilted. Here is a closer look at these wonderful fabrics.

Thanks To Fran

2012-01-30T00:17:00.000+02:00

I must say, quilters are wonderful. Yesterday I posted about a new fabric that I bought and I immediately received a suggestion. Fran responded by sending in pictures of two quilts that were made with this same floral fabric. Now I have some ideas on what can be done with it. First is a Four Patch Poesy which I have never seen before. To me it looks like a miniature Kaleidoscope quilt. I think this would be easier to make and use less fabric than a regular Kaleidoscope quilt. The lower right side of the picture is lighter because of the sunlight coming through the window.

This is called Warm Wishes. The blocks are 6" finished and it would take about 1 1/2 yards of fabric to make a quilt 54"x54". Thanks so much Fran. Both quilts are lovely. I appreciate your help.

I Love, Love, Love This Fabric

2012-01-29T00:10:00.000+02:00

I have no idea what I will do with this fabric, but I just had to buy it. The colors just blew me away.

I Always See Quilt Patterns

2012-01-27T00:35:00.000+02:00

I'm still finding quilt patterns wherever I go. This was on the ground in front of a building here in Betar Illit. It looks like a modern quilt to me.

These are tiles in the house that I lived in before I got married. Maybe this is where I developed the quilting bug. I do love hexagons!

30 + Year Old Monkeys

2012-01-26T00:46:00.000+02:00

Well, it's been more than 30 years since my sister Sandy made these sock monkeys for my children. It's hard to believe that I still have them. They are in great condition and ever so popular now. When I look at quilt blogs they pop up in fabrics, bedroom accessories and stuffed toys. Now I have them to share with the grandchildren.

What Is A Hemming Bird?

2012-01-25T00:09:00.001+02:00

Well, leave it to my Mom to have one. My Mother was just the best at sewing. She could make anything; however, she never made quilts. I think she left that for me, so I could shine at something. Fortunately, my sister Sandy saved this for me and what a find it is. I used it on my latest comfort quilt and it was so much better than pins and hair clips that I have used in the past. It must be from the 1940's or 1950's. It's supposed to be for making hems but from now on it's my favorite binding tool.

Quilts By Renee S

2012-01-24T00:20:00.001+02:00

I may have missed the boat! I think I failed to show you this wonderful quilt. Renee made two for her twin beds and I never got a picture of them -- finished. So here it is.

I do goof sometimes. I like to get pictures of the quilts as the ladies are making them. Often I get a picture of the top and don't post it because I'm waiting for it to be finished. I don't always get a picture of the finished product. Therefore I do miss posting some of our quilts. It does get confusing and I want you to see everything that the ladies make. Here is another one by Renee.

A Farmers Comfort Quilt

2012-01-23T00:16:00.000+02:00

Another comfort quilt is finished. A big thank you to Bryna for donating the panel.

I plan to give this quilt to a boy that is 1 1/2 yrs old with Cancer that lives in Betar Illit.

I wanted to put a little more of me in this quilt. I decided to hand quilt red thread through the shashing strips with large stitches and I like the way it looks.

Fabric For Comfort Quilts.

2012-01-22T00:02:00.000+02:00

This week we received fabric donations for our comfort quilts. A big thank you to Bryna. She made a friend in Geula and received fabric for us. There are many longs strips here which will be perfect for bindings.

Sara's daughter Pam, gave us fabric from her community outside of Betar Illit. There is so much wonderful fabric here, I don't know where to begin. Thanks so much Pam!

Sara also gave us fabric that she thought we could use for the comfort quilts and I do agree. These will be great. This has just been a wonderful week and we are so greatful.

Quilt For Isla

2012-01-20T00:03:00.000+02:00

This beautiful little girl needs your help. A quilt has been made to raise money to help pay for her medical treatment. There is still time to buy a ticket to win this quilt. Click on the link below to read her story. I sent in a block and I hope the one from Israel is mine. I so much want to help her and be part of this wonderful undertaking.

A Flower Pillow

2012-01-19T00:11:00.001+02:00

My sister Sandy had this fantastic pillow on her sofa. I fell in love with it right away. I took a close look at it to see if I could figure out how it was made. It's just a shape of a leaf made out of felt. As it gets closer to the center the leaves just become smaller. I thought this would be easy to make and I wondered how it would look if the leaves were different colors. Well it didn't take long to find out. I saw listed on someones blog a magazine with a picture of the pillow I was interested in making. I do hope to get around to this someday. One more item for my list of things to do.

Sara's Musical Quilt

2012-01-18T00:57:00.001+02:00

Sara has used wonderful fabrics for this quilt. If you look closely you can see all the instruments and musical notes. The choice of gold and black on the ends really enhances this quilt. Of course this quilt, when finished is going to someone with a high interest in music.

Sara's Latest Blocks

2012-01-17T00:44:00.000+02:00

Sara has finished two more blocks for the Underground Railroad quilt. This quilt is going to be dynamic.

Fabric Folded Flowers

2012-01-16T01:35:00.000+02:00

If you are interested in making fabric folded flowers this video is for you. A big thank you to Angie Padilla for posting this video tutorial. She makes it look so easy. Just click on the link below.

Do You Know What Kumihimo Is?

2012-01-15T02:05:00.001+02:00

When I was in Philadelphia recently, my sister Sandy introduced me to Kumihimo. It's a Japanese way of using yarn to make jewelry.

With this small disk and some yarn my sister made this braclet.

When I saw this, I just had to give it a try too. It was fast and easy to make. I made the following.

A String Quilt By Shoshana L.

2012-01-13T00:31:00.000+02:00

Shoshana made her first String quilt using pinks and purples. She is still new to quilting and had to finish this quickly. Shoshana did a very good job and you can see the results. Here it is, on the table putting the design together just last week.

Here it is this week, all finished.

Chaya Is Making Jewelery

2012-01-12T04:11:00.000+02:00

Chaya is continuing her jewelery class and is making beautiful pieces. This is a necklace and bracelet that she recently made.

Etty's ABC Quilt

2012-01-11T00:13:00.001+02:00

A new baby quilt is on it's way to Lakewood, NJ. We have dear friends there that are celebrating the 1st birthday of their first grandchild. It will arrive just in time.

Another Comfort Quilt

2012-01-10T00:49:00.000+02:00

I'm happy to say another comfort quilt is finished and has been delivered. It was a delight to see the smiles on this 6 year old boy and his Mom. This is why it's so important to make comfort quilts. Thank you Shifra for putting on the binding. Thanks to Susan for donating the panel. The panel was rearranged and I think it turned out well.

And a thank you goes to my sister Sandy for donating the fabric for the back.

Susan's Pin Cushion

2012-01-09T04:33:00.000+02:00

Susan saw the pattern for this pin cushion in the latest issue of Fons & Porter. The next time I saw her post on "Scrap Happy", the pin cushion was already finished. The idea is when you see something you like, just make it. That's the way to go. I really like the fabrics that she used.

Sifra's Rabbit Quilt

2012-01-08T00:01:00.000+02:00

Shifra has finished her Rabbit quilt. It's quilted and on it's way to a fortunate little baby. Great job Shifra.

Renee S Is Making Headbands

2012-01-06T00:07:00.000+02:00

Renee learned how to make these darling little flowers. They are so cute on headbands. There are so many ways to display them. I'm sure we will be seeing more of them from Renee.

Stephanie's Giveaway

2012-01-05T00:05:00.000+02:00

Our dear friend Stephanie in Waco, Texas, is having a giveaway. It's in celebration of her birthday January 1, 2011. It's not too late to sign up. The drawing will be January 8th.

Shifra's Rabbit Quilt

2012-01-04T02:08:00.002+02:00

Well, Shifra is doing it again. She has been working on the most adorable baby quilt for a new grandchild. Here is a look at her almost finished quilt.

Renee S Has Some New Fabric

2012-01-03T00:05:00.000+02:00

Renee brought along some new fabric for the ladies to see. She isn't sure yet what it will become. We will just have to wait and see.

This panel will make an adorable quilt for some little one.

Susan's Table Runner

2012-01-02T00:02:00.001+02:00

Susan brought along this table runner to quilt during our Monday morning get-together. She is very good at machine quilting, but there is nothing more enjoyable and relaxing than hand quilting. Susan usually brings along something to hand quilt when she is with us.

What Are Your Plans For 2012?

2012-01-01T01:00:00.001+02:00

I'm always making lists and then loosing them, so it's not worth it. I have made some of the quilts in 2011 that were planned, and some that weren't. I expect it will be the same again this year. How about you?

Rina's Kaleidoscope Quilt

2011-12-30T00:24:00.000+02:00

Rina has made progress on this fantastic Kaleidoscope Quilt.

She'd like to make it larger so Rina has ordered more fabric. This quilt will have to be put on hold until the extra fabric arrives. Rina, this quilt will be extra special.

Belated Birthday Greetings

2011-12-29T00:39:00.000+02:00

November and December were months full of birthdays for the ladies in our group. A belated Happy Birthday goes out to

Bryna, Renee S, Shoshana R, Susan and Rina.

8th Night of Chanukah

2011-12-27T17:44:00.000+02:00

Welcome to the 8th night of Chanukah. The above picture includes a very special second menorah (candelabra on the right) that we light on the last night. We posted the story last year but would like to repeat it since it has profound meaning to us:

A Special Chanukah Menorah

In 1975 our family was stationed with the US Army in Germany. My hubby and I were in an antique shop and came across this Chanukah menorah. Being thirty years after the war and knowing that there hadn’t been a Jewish population in that area for the three decades, made us look in amazement and curiosity about the origin of the menorah. We purchased it with the hopes of honoring and memorializing the family that may have once used it every year. Since then we have continued to light this menorah on the eighth night of Chanukah. Hopefully this will bring merit to that family and every Jewish family that through persecution and hatred are not able to light Chanukah candles. Since Chanukah commemorates a victory over such persecution, it seams very appropriate to light our menorah, especially in Israel, in memory and honor of those Jews in more recent times, even up to this day, that are not able to serve our Creator as they would like to. May the coming year see peace throughout the world.

Bracha's New Wall Hangings

2011-12-27T06:12:00.001+02:00

Bracha has some new wall hangings that are still in process. I just wanted to give you a glimpse into what she is creating. She prefers this type of work to large bed quilts. This is what makes quilting so interesting. Everyone finds what they like to do best.

Susan's Coasters

2011-12-26T00:23:00.000+02:00

Susan has been making these cute coasters. They make wonderful little gifts. I understand they are easy and quick to make. Anyone would be happy to receive one.

Lumpy Gifts

2011-12-25T00:13:00.000+02:00

No matter what holiday you celebrate this time of year, lumpy gifts are wonderful. I would take one any day of the year. How about you?

Happy Holidays

2011-12-23T12:19:00.000+02:00

Rina's Decision

2011-12-23T00:01:00.000+02:00

Rina had to make a decision on how to lay out her latest Disappearing Nine Patch. She placed all the blocks on the table to get ideas. It isn't always so easy to make these decisions. A little help from friends can be very helpful.

This was a YES.

For You Chess Lovers Out There

2011-12-22T00:11:00.001+02:00

I found this website recently. For quilters that like chess, this post is for you.

Sara's Underground Railroad Blocks

2011-12-21T00:13:00.000+02:00

I'm getting behind on Sara's blocks. She is working fast and I seem to be slow. Here are some of her latest blocks.

The Carpenters Wheel

Jewel Box

Arkansas Cross Roads

Shoofly

Sara's next block will be the Flower Basket. She has already started to pick out the fabrics. Sara will be adding a blue to this selection. This is going to be a gorgeous quilt.

Happy Chanukah

2011-12-20T00:13:00.000+02:00

Rina's Disappearing Nine Patch

2011-12-19T04:20:00.001+02:00

Rina is working on a few quilts, but couldn't resist getting started on this Disappearing Nine Patch. These fabrics are so fantastic. Any pattern that Rina chooses would look wonderful.

Renee S Has Finished Her Vest

2011-12-18T00:02:00.001+02:00

Renee has finished her gray vest. It was a long time project that she worked on while listening to our shiurim (lectures). She wasn't in a hurry to finish the vest, but finished it is. Renee it's wonderful. You did a great job.

Finished Quilt By Rina

2011-12-16T01:05:00.000+02:00

Rina has finished quilting her latest quilt. The colors are just outstanding. Great job Rina!

This is the back.

I Love My Friends

2011-12-15T00:12:00.000+02:00

I really like the saying in this little item, which hangs on the wall in my sister Sandy's house.

"Some friends grow older. Some grow wiser and a few become genuine characters". My friends that are characters are most special to me.

Free Quilt Patterns From Moda

2011-12-14T05:04:00.000+02:00

If you haven't seen this website from Moda, it's time to do it now. I'm always looking for new ideas for our group and for me. These ideas are very special.

A Gift For Me

2011-12-13T08:04:00.001+02:00

Rina and Sara surprised me with these darling Teddy Bears. They are from Keepsake Quilting. I've wanted them for a long time and have just put off ordering them. I hope to use them on comfort quilts. Thanks so much, ladies.

Thank You Sandy

2011-12-12T01:01:00.001+02:00

A big thank you goes to my sister Sandy. In her shopping she found these wonderful children's fabrics. She isn't a quilter but does many other crafts.

This first one is a Growth Chart. It's fantastic and a different idea for children.

The next two are the Three Blind Mice. They go together wonderfully.

Something New For Us

2011-12-11T00:38:00.000+02:00

Beading is not something that we do, but look at this! Chaya has been taking a class in beading and making the most beautiful bead work. I don't know if I could have the patience to do this. I hope Chaya continues with this new endeavor.

New Books

2011-12-09T01:10:00.001+02:00

On my recent trip to Philadelphia I acquired some new quilting books. It's always fun to look for new ideas.

Thank you Sandy for this Grandma's book. I certainly am a Grandma!

Of course, I did get some quilting items from my sister Geri. Thanks so much, especially for the Klutz glove.

New Baby Quilts By Renee S

2011-12-08T16:30:00.001+02:00

Renee S has been very busy making baby quilts. I think she is planning more, but here is what I have so far.

This is the largest quilt. Renee did all the patchwork on this and made a pillow to match.

As you can see Renee is still quilting this one.

These baby quilts are so soft and cuddly. Wonderful job Renee. We're looking forward to seeing the other quilts that you are planning.

A New Placemat

2011-12-07T22:09:00.000+02:00

Sara is at it again. Another new placement. The colors are bright and cheerie. It's welcoming you to sit down and eat.

Sandy's Scarfs

2011-12-06T21:08:00.000+02:00

My sister Sandy has been busy, busy, busy. She has been making the loveliest scarfs which are so popular now.

Sandy tried to teach me but I'm all thumbs when it comes to knitting.

Here are some that are finished.

My oldest grandchild, Shifra Chaya, picked out the one she wants. She's a lucky girl to have an Aunt that is so talented.

We Have A Winner

2011-12-05T23:38:00.002+02:00

Congratulations to Colleen from Troy, Michigan, USA.

She is the winner of the Quilting Corner giveaway.

Here is "Hubby" picking the winner.

Counted X-Stitch

2011-12-04T00:22:00.001+02:00

Recently, Shoshana S visited our group. She brought along her latest counted x-stitch projects. Shoshana is a wiz at this and her projects are fantastic. You need a great deal of patience and good eye sight to do these designs.

Just a reminder!

Monday morning we will be drawing the lucky person for our Giveaway. Information about this was posted on November 27th.

Renee's Shopping Wagon

2011-12-02T00:48:00.000+02:00

Recently, we showed Renee S's shopping wagon. She added a lining to dress it up a bit. Her daughter Bryna, decided it was still too plain; so, she added these special flowers in the front. This really dresses up the shopping wagon. Many people in Israel do not have cars or would not use the car to go shopping. Grocery shopping is frequently a short walking distance away -- I live about a one minute walk to two grocery stores and about five minutes from a supermarket. Many would even take a short bus ride to shopping since all the markets deliver. We also live about two blocks away from a shopping area of about a half mile of stores. We would always walk there, so a shopping wagon is an important item in our lives. No one else, however, has one like this -- a designer wagon.

A Day At The Havertown Senior Center

2011-12-01T00:06:00.001+02:00

While I was visiting in Philadelphia, I went to the Havertown Senior Center to see the men and women that are members. I've been there before and was anxious to see them again. They are so warm and friendly. I always feel welcome. I joined in Line Dancing while my sister, Sandy, was instructing the group. That's Sandy on the right. It was hard to snap pictures when everyone was going so fast.

I'd like to thank the Center for donating fabric to our quilt group for our comfort quilts. It's greatly appreciated.

I did get the ladies to sit down for a picture. My sister is on the top row on the left and I was given a seat on the first row. I'm the second from the left. Thank you ladies, I had a great day.

Back in Full Swing

2011-11-30T01:20:00.003+02:00

The Quilting Corner get-together is back in full swing. It was like a high school reunion without the pom-poms. The atmosphere was electrifying, especially after they plugged in all the sewing machines. Etty was just as busy as a little mouse, running around.

(Please note: this is not an actual picture of Etty)
I, hubby, was ask to comment since a flood of requests came in – all two of them. I will let Etty tell you all the details; I’m too excited to continue.
Monday was a full morning. Seventeen ladies came for our shiur (lecture) and sewing. We were falling over each other in my tiny apartment. It was so good to see everyone being so involved. Not everyone was here and two of us didn't have seats. Everyone was anxious to be together after 3 weeks of my being away.
Avigail has her latest quilt top finished. The back is just a drop too small so she will make it larger and then on to putting her sandwich together, hopefully next week. Great job Avigail!

More to come on future posts. I bet you can't wait?

It's Time For A Giveaway

2011-11-27T00:40:00.001+02:00

It's a little late, but here it is. A giveaway in celebration of our two years of blogging and our 400th post. A copy of Material Obsession by Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke. Just leave a comment to enter. If you are a follower we will put your name in twice. Drawing will be Monday, December 5th.

A Big Thank You

2011-11-25T00:10:00.000+02:00

I'm back from my trip to America. I wish to thank all of you that have written me with condolences for the loss of my two relatives. Both my sister and brother lost their spouses within 24 hours of each other. One from a long illness and the other from a fatal car crash. Your concern and well wishes have meant a great deal to me and our family. A very big thank you goes to my Hubby for keeping up with this blog. He did a fantastic job and now I know that I can be replaced (certainly with more humor). Thanks to our new followers. Welcome aboard. I'm sorry that I was unable to respond to each and every one of you. I will try to continue with the blog but it will be a hard act to follow my Hubby.
Note from Hubby: Dear Etty -- I am still available since we reside at the same abode. I do not make quilts; I make quips. If you need assistance, just ask.

Before and After

2011-11-24T00:50:00.001+02:00

Renee S's daughter, Mimi, made her first quilt. She made the quilt during the summer when Renee was visiting. Unfortunately, it fell apart in the wash; but, Mimi did a wonderful job of remaking it. Excellent first attempt at quilting. Here are the before and after pictures showing the falling apart and the fixing it up.

Sara with Another Disappearing 9 Patch

2011-11-23T03:28:00.000+02:00

Sara has really been busy and has made another Disappearing 9 patch -- this time set on point. It is ready to be sandwiched. Sara is definitely a talented quiltress (is that the proper terminology for a female quilter or did I just make up a word? What do men know? I'm still trying to find all these 9 patches that have disappeared).

The best news is Etty comes home today. Whoopee!

Sara's Disappearing 9 Patch

2011-11-22T03:43:00.000+02:00

Sara made this Disappearing 9 patch that I believe we had shown in progress, but is now completed, and lovely it is.

Sara's Placemat

2011-11-21T04:22:00.000+02:00

Sara has made this beautiful placemat that will be one of a new set that she is making for gifts. This will dress up any table; but, I would be afraid to spill something on it (I'm not always the neatest eater). Hopefully, it is washable.

International Quilt Festival of Ireland

2011-11-20T04:02:00.000+02:00

The ladies of the Quilting Corner received an Email from a representative in Ireland who is coordinating what appears to be a very exciting quilt festival. I thought I would show you the letter since this is something that all our followers around the world might want to participate in.

Hi Ladies,

My name is Caitlin Hacker and I work for the International Quilt Festival of Ireland. I wanted to email you because I came across your blog recently and I was wondering if you would be interested in possibly submitting a quilt or a quilted item for one of our festival's exhibits.

The International Quilt Festival of Ireland is set to bring over 6,000 international visitors to Ireland, specifically to Galway, next June 7th-10th. You can check out our website,http://www.iqfoi.com/, for all of the details regarding the festival. All of the quilts and quilted items featured in our exhibits will be highlighted in a very special online book, where we will not only highlight the quilts, but also highlight the quilters who made them. We will also provide an electronic link to the quilter's website, blog or email that they provide for us. Some of the exhibits include My Quilted Garden, Patchwork Promises, The Road Less Traveled, Chocolate Decadence, Yin & Yang, 3-D Movie Quilts, and many more. You can find a full list on our website under Exhibits.

Just email me back when you get a chance and let me know if this is something you would be interested in. Thanks very much and I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,

Caitlin

This will be presented to the Quilting Corner ladies when they resume their weekly get-together on Monday, 28 November.

Renee's Shopping Wagon

2011-11-18T03:50:00.000+02:00

Renee S decorated her shopping wagon with colorful material. Probably soon everyone in Betar Illit will be wanting one. Isn't fabric fun?

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

2011-11-17T04:35:00.000+02:00

A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading a training session, explaining stress management to the audience; with a raised glass of water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'...
She fooled them all...
"How heavy is this glass of water?” she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long I hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.
In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
She continued, "and that’s the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.
When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.
So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.
Don't carry them through the evening and into the night...
Pick them up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment.
Relax, pick them up later
After you've rested.
Life is short.
Enjoy it and the now 'supposed' stress that you've conquered!"

1. Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!
2. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
4. Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

7. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
8. Never buy a car you can't push.

Latest Blocks For the Underground Railroad Quilt

2011-11-15T04:04:00.000+02:00

Sara completed additional blocks for our Underground Railroad Sampler Quilt project. Her Carpenter's Wheel is beautiful but has one problem -- it is the wrong size. The pattern Sara used resulted in a 16" block while the sampler quilt requires all blocks to be 12". It is not really a problem since this lovely block will find a home some day in another quilt. No quilter's block will ever be wasted just sometimes delayed. Sara is making a 12" replacement.

Sara also made a beautiful Log Cabin block but unfortunately the picture is a little blurry. This proves that drinking and photography don't mix. Sara did not take the picture. Unfortunately, our official Quilting Corner camera is in the United States; so, we could not obtain a better picture. Perhaps, when the camera returns next week, we will clear the air and the picture.

Etty also made a Log Cabin and a fine job she did and a clear picture.

Etty also received the instructions from Roxanne on the new blocks to be made this month. Etty will share that with you when she returns.

Here is a video of a flight over the city of Betar Illit in the Judean Hills where the Quilting Corner lives (and of course, we live there too). Be sure to go full screen for the best effect.

Wasn't that exciting? It got my blood pumping!
