<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">The
Unity Quilts project was born in the wake of a terrible loss.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">But
with each envelope that we opened, and with each message we read, a whole world
of caring unfolded, stretching across the whole of the land of Israel and as
far away as the UK, USA and Canada. As our circle of unity grew, we were
uplifted by your caring.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">We
cherished each block, and were grateful to every sewist who sent one to us. The
final quilts are magnificent, each one a perfect patchwork of unique blocks.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">We
created a beautiful photo book so that we could remember each block, and each
sewist, and each place that contributed to making the Unity Quilts so special.
The Fraenkel, Shaer and Yifrach families received a copy of this book with
their quilts, so that they could see the impact of their call for unity.</span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">We
love this book so much, we asked the company, MyAlbum, who produced it, to make
it possible for you to purchase your own copy. Just click on the button (on the
right) for more details! (If you have any questions, you can reach us at unityquiltsisrael @ gmail.com)</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">We
hope you enjoy seeing the quilts in print as much as we do. It was an honour to
be part of this, and it gives us great pleasure to remember each block, and
each special person who created them.</span><br />

In response to their great tragedy, the Shaer, Yifrach and
Fraenkel families made a conscious decision to increase unity in the
Jewish world, and so yesterday, the anniversary of the boys'
kidnapping, was named Unity Day.<br />
<br />
In Jerusalem, a series of lectures and panel discussions focusing
on unity took place in the afternoon; in the evening, prizes were
awarded to people and organizations that promote and increase Jewish
unity.<br />
<br />
It was our great honour to be invited to present our Unity Quilts
to the families just before they sat on a panel together in the
afternoon.<br />
<br />
A brief introduction told everyone in the auditorium about our
goals to create unity and offer comfort, and described the wide range
of quilters who contributed; we opened one quilt to show to
everyone, and Racheli Fraenkel came to the stage to thank us on
behalf of all the families.<br />
<br />
Does it sound quick? It was! We didn't say a word, but were
honoured to have the opportunity to represent each and every one of
you - your words, your stitches, your love, your hope - directly to
the families on such a unique day.<br />
<br />
We were then privileged to hear all three couples discussing their
hopes for unity in the future. We were touched by their depth of
thought, intelligence, warmth and authenticity. Honest and sad and
hopeful, all at once. It was humbling and inspiring.<br />
<br />
Our thanks, which cannot be expressed deeply enough, go to each
and every person who sent us blocks, who helped sew, quilt, and bind
these quilts - and also to each of you who sent messages of care and
support. This was a beautiful experience of unity in action, and we
pray that each of us will continue to enlarge Jewish unity in our
daily lives.<br />

<br />
The Unity Prize will be awarded to a few special people and organizations who work tirelessly to advance unity throughout the Jewish community and Israeli society. <br />
<br />
There will be a special ceremony in Jerusalem on June 3rd for the prize winners - and we will be attending this special event! We hope to present our quilts to the families on this unique day.<br />

We wanted to come up with a good way to present the quilts, and so asked our friends to sew some bags from the extra backing fabric.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Roxy and Sorcha, for your neat and quick stitching!<br />
<br />
Here are the bags, packed with the quilts and ready for gifting. <br />

The Quilts are Here.When the quilts had been collected, Minna and I just sat on her couch and looked at them. The quilting is gorgeous, an overall pattern in variegated thread that ranges from white to blue. The quilting itself hints at the shape of a heart.<br />
<br />
It was a feast for the eyes and for the hearts.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"I have a longarm quilting machine... I volunteer to quilt these quilts..."</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wow! What a difference Terry's immense generosity made, right from the start.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We knew we were working with an expert, and she was incredibly generous with her time, as well donating the batting, and taking care of the quilting.</span></span><br />

<br />
It's hard to describe how careful we were handling all the blocks!<br />
Not only is each block precious "beyond rubies" - but we were also sewing them into quilt tops for 3 bereaved families. We wanted these quilts to really glow.<br />

The blocks are not ours. Nor is the finished quilt. </div>

Each block is precious to us, as each block was a gift made with love. </div>

<br />
She started piecing columns together, and noticed straight away how hard this project was going to be. Although we measured each and every block, and even made some sewing adjustments to individuals blocks when necessary, they were not going to join together like some neatly cut 9-patch.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It took a lot of effort to line them up - but what a joy to see them coming together!<br />
<br />
<br />

I assure you we have been busy, and that your blocks have become part of 3 beautiful quilts.<br />
<br />
Remember these?<br />

When Minna and I finished laying out the blocks to create these 3 vibrant quilts, we carefully labeled each block by row and column, and stacked them into 3 careful columns of blocks.<br />

A local quilter, Cindy, had offered to piece one of the quilts; Minna and I would also each piece a quilt. We were excited to reach this stage - but also a bit nervous to actually stitch through these beautiful blocks.

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
As we approach Rosh HaShanah, we are all still carrying the weight of this summer, the summer that began with 3 precious boys being kidnapped.</div>
<br />
Rachelle Fraenkel, the mother of one of our boys, spoke in a moving video to help us focus on what's important this Rosh HaShanah, and the whole year.<br />
<br />
May her call for unity help create a lasting achdut in all of Israel, and increase peace in the world. <br />

Some of your blocks may not look exactly the way you sent it to us, because we added a narrow border, or even replaced a border, and, of course, we always added new fabric. <br />
<br />
But rest assured, we only made changes when we had to make the block larger, and were careful to maintain the natural, beautiful design of each block.<br />

<br />
However, not every block was exactly the right size...<br />
<br />
We got busy trimming of the tiniest edges to make each block just right.<br />
<br />
Masking tape is our Best Friend! We label each block according to when it arrived, and with your name, and most recently with its exact position in a quilt. Sometime, the labels need replacing...<br />

This collection of blocks is precious and irreplaceable; each block we picked up, we remembered who sewed it, and it made us smile. Setting them out to create quilts for 3 bereaved families was very emotional, and felt like a huge responsibility.</div>
<br />
But what we saw when we made our first attempt was this: the great beauty of these quilts. They look like they were made by lots of different people.<br />
<br />
This is what UNITY looks like.<br />
