Update on the wedding dress: The hardest part for me is making the first muslin fit. Thank G-d that’s finished and I’ve made the lining ready for Yehudis’s wedding dress. Today I cut into the fabric!
Challenge Quilt Live Viewing
Posted on: March 12, 2009
I just wanted to let you know if you are in the NYC area you can come view the quilts live.
We are located at 1131 McDonald Ave Brooklyn New York. The Ave I Subway Station is right on the corner, the “F” Train stops there.

We had a Challenge Quilt. I will be posting a couple of entries a day. At the end of the postings I will create a poll. Being that this is a combination of in-store and online voting we will combine the two votes to come up with the winner. The winner get’s a cash prize, all the glory and media interviews!
The quilt needed to have two fabrics (I will post them soon), finished back and front with quilt batting and binding and can’t be more than 24 by 24 inches. One of the fabrics was a subway map and the other fabric had lots of people on it, hence the NYC connection. I will also post the explanations from the contestants.

I’ve gotten some emails asking for an update of my original post, so here goes:
Yehudis (my daughter) has decided on the style and then presented me with the sketch assuming I would firgure it out. She wants a “corset look” from under her bust to below the waist with princess line for the skirt. We are now up to the point of deciding if we should either put in a bust dart or gather. I made the muslin and put in the boning so that she could see what it will look like. I’m not concerned about the skirt because she just wants it very full and simple. We bought a Vera Wang embroidered winter white silk. The train is what will make the dress because it is the most interesting part, but I’m very far from that point.
Please share your thoughts!
How I Transfered the Photo on the Fabric for the Exposed Quilt (Photo Transfer)

A few people contacted me and asked how I got the photo on the fabric for the Exposed Breast Cancer Quilt. Since I do a lot of photo transfers, I use special fabric bubble jet ink and treat the fabric myself. The actual xrays is fabric that I carried at the time. I now have another similar one but not the exact same. As an aside, I now also sell prepared photo transfer fabric from June Tailor by the piece at $3 each.
A little help from G-d, friends, and family– I belong to a quilt group called “Quilters of the night kitchen.” We challenged ourselves to exchange a baggie of scraps and use them in a quilt. This was my interpretation. I love them all and I added the hand holding the last block (on the bottom right) to emphasize how I need everyone for their support. This quilt is not bound, but is on stretcher bars, it is quilted, however.
