Adar Aleph

Further to my resolution to make an 8 1/2" by 11" piece for each Jewish month, I am now faced with Adar Aleph, (Adar I) this being a Jewish leap year. Adar is the month of Purim and this year it falls in Adar Bet (Adar II). It shouldn't be too hard to find a Purim theme for that one.
Surprisingly, it wasn't that hard for Adar Aleph either. I am making a piece with the new moon, a nod to the lunar calendar, and fish, the sign of the zodiac. I have already made the moon, adhering transfer foil to Steam-a-Seam to a black ultrasuede moon (attachment yet to be determined). I am using a blue background fabric. The reverse side is darker so I'm using that for the sky. And then I'm using the light side as the water, covered with scrunched up organza to give the feeling of waves/depth. And two fish findings I brought from Israel. A bead here, a ribbon there -- et voila! Hopefully it shouldn't be that time consuming.
I started (continued) quilting my lap quilt. I am using the walking foot and following the curves of the blocks but it is slow going, turning the fabric each time and getting it through the neck. But I can do a few blocks at a time and set it aside as there is no rush.
I really have to get started on my postcards. And that said, I am now going to type my Hebrew phrases onto paper in preparation for reprinting them onto ribbon. Cross your fingers.
