Posted by: malke.y on: June 13, 2010
I think I’ve mentioned it before but I’m going to throw it out again, maybe this time someone willl catch it. Anyone interested in starting a guild? Meeting to be held on a weeknight instead of on Saturdays. I know there are alot of Sabbath observers in Brooklyn that are also quilters. Would someone like to get the ball rolling? We can use the store as a stepping off point. Email me please.

Holocaust Quilt Request
Posted by: malke.y on: August 18, 2009
I feel I could pat myself on the back. A customer just came in to my store and asked where the Holocaust Quilt was. She came in especially to take a picture of it because she said it so much touched a cord in her heart. How’d that make me feel? Great! Only problem is, I gained too much weight to reach my back!

My Life Updated
Posted by: malke.y on: May 7, 2009
We’ve been very busy with alot of happy occasions in the past month. my daughter-in-law had a boy, her third. my daughter had her first baby, a boy. For us that meant 2 circumcisions. one was in Lakewood NJ and one in Cleveland Ohio. we also had Passover which is always a well attended affair in my house. My son in highland park made a bar mitzvah for his second son and that was a weekend affair. My daughter came in from Argentina and we are happily busy with her. Tomorrow night we are having an affair for redeeming the first born. on may 13 my daughter is getting married. Oh what fun!!!! But exhausting.
Daughter’s Wedding Project: Chupa

If given the choice between sewing [even with a deadline, my daughters dress] or quilting, there is’nt much of a toss up. But since I have to justify quilting instead of sewing, I got involved into making a chupa for her. A chupa is a covering that jewish brides and grooms have over their heads during the ceremony. I wanted to try the Ricky Tims kaleidescope. It came out beautiful! I gave it to our longarm quilter to finish and now its full-time on the bridal gown!

But the point of the quilt is, not about the loss but rather, how many of us survive today to prove that we are still here and the master race is no longer.
Chupa

A relative asked me to make a banner to hang in the front of her chupah (by the wedding ceremony). the hebrew words mean: “Praise G-d because He is good, because His Kindness is forever.”
