A Quilt Custom-Made for You
I design and create for my clients custom tallit, memory quilts, baby blankets, and other quilted Judaica using sustainably or organically grown and recycled fabrics. This is a memory pillow that I created for a client whose nephew passed away. In the center is a photo of all the cousins. The photo is surrounded by paper pieced animal blocks (see the link below for the pattern book I used - this is a wonderful book!). Hopefully, this darling pillow will bring some comfort to the child's family. "Green" aspects of this work include the batik fabric scraps used in the animal blocks and a organic cotton and bamboo batting.


These delightful animal blocks were made using the patterns in "A Quilter's Ark":
The quilt I make for you will become a tangible memory of an important life event or loved one. It will also represent your contribution to tikkun olam—a little piece you do to heal the world.I practice the traditional art of quilting using sustainable, ecologically-friendly techniques, including: - Using fabrics and battings (a quilt’s soft filling) made of organically grown cotton and renewable bamboo.
- Ensuring that all new fabric I use is colored with natural, environmentally safe, non-petroleum-based dyes.
- Finding one-of-a-kind colors and patterns in recycled and second-hand fabrics.
My choice to quilt “greener” is my personal mitzvah, reflecting a deep commitment to healing and preserving the environment. If you have an idea for a project,
