Blocks with Applique

More blocks arrived this week that were sent right at the edge of the deadline - and boy are we glad to get them! Yet more examples of the wide range of skills all you quilters are bringing to this project: hand and machine applique, beautiful stitch work, surface design... it's just wonderful.

The Power of Naming

Thank you to the very special people who had this idea.

(Two quilters were involved in creating each block; we have listed them separately for clarity.)

Amy, Katzrin איימי, קצרין

Tzipah, Kibbutz Tirat Tzvi  ציפה, קיבוץ טירת-צבי

Gil-Ad, Naftali, Eyal - we will never forget you. We will remember your names and your faces always.

More Log Cabins

These blocks were made by a 9 year old girl. That makes THREE 9 year olds who have made blocks for our quilts. Three kids who are learning about the healing power of quilts. It lifts our spirits.

Several quilters sent us 3 blocks this week - thank you so much. We will use one in each quilt.

A Striking Star

We received this beautiful block, and know how gorgeous it will look when joined together with other lovingly made blocks from all over the world.

Lovely Blocks from Far Away

As usual, we are touched by the care and effort that has gone into making blocks that are elegant and meaningful.
