I visited Northern Israel over Sukkot and was inspired by scenes around the Jordan River. The view was breathtaking. I decided to create one of the scenes in fabric. It’s an impressionistic rendering, but I think you will agree you can wade through the water to the edge of the trees. I used cotton fabric to create this quilt art. The batting is cotton as well. If you are interested in purchasing it, contact me here or via my Etsy shop, where you will see other pieces of mine that are also up for sale.
Here is a photo of “By the Lake”.
Enjoy!

January 5, 2011 at 2:57 pmI was looking at this stunning wall hanging and felt it could be some inspiration for a new project for me and would be easy enough, since I have only begun quilting. Then I saw the location description “Jordan River” and explored your site even more thoroughly and saw your beautiful Challah cover and a little of your bio. It is exciting to see quilters from Israel, bringing in Jewish themes to what I have long though is a beautiful craft. It is even more exciting to see someone from Beit Shemesh, since my son lives near Migdal Hamayim in Beit Shemesh. Beautiful town, beautiful country. I have subscribed to your RSS feed and will be interested in seeing other projects of yours.
