Moving Right Along

1. Said Yes to the Dress:  This is my fibre arts group's January challenge. Continuing on the theme of the figure design we used on the quilt squares for our group quilt, we are going to fabric-wrap 8" X 10" canvases and dress quilted figures in white bridal fabrics (got plenty in my stash from my chuppah/crazy quilt days).  I made the quilted figures for all of the participants from fabric left from my quilted portrait experiment.  Each participant has free licence to choose their background fabric i.e. if someone wants to piece or dye or screenprint or embroider or whatever, it's up to them.  I used a piece of printed fabric and simply quilted it by outlining the printed pattern.  Just watched a video to show me how to neatly wrap the fabric on the canvas.


2. POM ritual challenge: checked and found that the travel/dorm room Shabbat candle lighting one-drawer prototype can be modified to make a travel/dorm room Chanuka candle lighting box.  By making a two drawer version with the height of each drawer 1/4 inch taller than the Shabbat version, I can put Chanuka candles and matches in one drawer and a Chanukia in the other.  Both version are dependent on Menachem making the candle holders/Chanukia once he has sufficiently recovered from his replacement.


I must learn how to take and upload photos on my own...
