Despite the intense heat of recent weeks in Melbourne, my
vege garden has actually been able to produce some edible treats:

In other 'red' news, my red silk quilt is all finished.

It's ultimate role is to be the '
chuppah' at the wedding of
my beloved and me.
The hebrew writing around the 4 sides are taken from one of the traditional
7 blessings recited at Jewish weddings.

It means:
Voices of joy and gladness, voices of groom and bride.

The centre is quilted with a
tree of life design. A traditional Jewish symbol.

The kimono fabrics represent
my beloved's love of martial arts.
And the red .... well I just love red.
And I also love my little red heads. Here's one!!
