What A Great Day-Part one

The other day Sara, Rina and I took a trip to Ra'anana to see Terry Mowszowski.  Boy, were we in for a surprise.

Sara finished her special quilt top and took it there to be quilted on a long arm machine.  Meanwhile, we were given a demonstration up close on how this quilting is done.  I've seen a little bit on the internet but there is nothing like seeing it in person, working, and with the quilter doing it.  What fun!!!
I took a few pictures so you can get the idea and I will also show some of Terry's quilt collection.  She gave us a mini show.

 I  loved the parking lot sign-Parking for Quilters Only.

Terry has a large collection of bears and you will see them everywhere.

Of course there were quilts every place you looked.

 

 Terry's Mom stopped in to meet us.  Such a happy, upbeat and experienced person.

I was permitted to take some random pictures of the studio.

Here Zvia is showing us how they put quilts onto the long arm.

 Here Carol, an excellent quilter, is hand stitching the final label on a quilt.

 Here Sara is working with Terry, Zvia, and Carol to pick out her special design.

The ladies here work very hard on making quilts for charities.  If you want more information on these projects please contact them at

She's Making Progress

Susan that is!  She is making progress on this delightful little quilt.  You can't go wrong with 30"s reproductions.  It's a simple pattern and so worth the time and energy.  Great job Susan.

 

Rina's New Quilt Top

Rina has finished another Batik quilt top.  So simple a pattern and so fantastic.  We all love Batiks.

Button Cookies

These aren't mine!!!  Go over to Selvage Blog to see how they are made.  They are so, so cute.  I didn't want you to miss this.

I know we've not been around this week.  It's because I've moved into a new apartment.  Lots of work, cleaning, packing, unpacking.  But I'll be up and running again soon.  And it's all so worth it.  I love, love, love my new sewing room.  I can't wait to show it to you.  Below is a saying that is so, so true.  No matter what, laughter gets me through day.

Rina's Latest

Even though I'm moving into a new home, the ladies just keep working away.  I don't have much time for sewing, but everyone else does.  Rina brought this quilt to be sandwiched and she is now home quilting it.

 This is the back.  It's fun enough to be the top.

A Double Wedding Ring

Sara is just getting started.  This is a kit she bought sometime ago and Sara says it's time to make it.  She brought us just the beginning to show us the colors.  All the pieces are cut out.  It doesn't get better than that. It's going to be so, so terrific.

Thank You

A special gift from a special friend.  Recently a friend of mine had to go to California for a short visit.  It wasn't for fun.  There was a great deal of sadness on this trip.  My friend found the time to pick up a treat for me during this difficult time.  It's amazing the friends we make in this lifetime.  We have to stop and make the time to appreciate them.

The Latest From Sara

Sara has been doing some new quilting to her quilts.  She is doing a great job.  Sara thought she couldn't do it, but now there will be no stopping her.

 

This is the back.

A Big Thank You

A very big thank you goes to Hadassah from "The 2 Spies."  This week she has donated what you see here from her stash.  It is just wonderful.  Jeans, cotton clothing from the thrift (Gemach) shops, a bolt of unused fabric and 7 quilt tops that are ready for quilting.  So much that could be used for our comfort quilts.  We are overwhelmed by her generosity.

Please visit her website when you have the time.

Sara's Grandmothers Flower Garden

Sara has finished her Grandmothers Flower Garden top.  She has been working on it for a long time and is so excited that she has reached this point.  It's completely paper pieced and fantastic.

 

 

We Have A Winner

I'm happy to say the winner of the latest giveaway is our very dear friend Debbie, who lives in Har Nof, Israel.

Sara had the honor of picking the winner.

Thank you to everyone that joined in the fun.
