A while back I wrote a post about the book "Jeremiah Street" illustrated (with needle and thread) by Lena Guberman. If you are in the Rishon LTzion area in June there's a group show, "Needle and Thread" and Lena's work will be in it. The exhibition will be at Gallerina gallery throughout June.

I would like to mention a donation opportunity- the Cross Israel Hike, a fundraising event by the One Family Fund. The One Family Fund provides a range of aid and assistance to victims of terror in Israe ...
Given that the 9th of Av is around the corner, I wanted to write about a Jerusalem topic again. In this case nostalgic iconography of Jerusalem. I’m going to draw on something I researched for a paper I wrote for my MA. The topic was depictions of Jerusalem in wedding invitations. At the time I looked at about 1000 wedding invitations in public and priv ...

I thought I would mention it now.For the fourth week I originally thought we would do accessories because of the smaller amount of sewing required. in the end one girl decided she wanted to do a skirt and top (minimal sewing) and the others finished off their sh ...
