My creative space

I'm hoping this has a Moroccan feel.

 

What do you think?
 

The back really shows the quilting!!

More spaces over at Madame Koo's. Go check 'em out!

I hope your space is creative today.

Are you getting sick of these yet?

It seems that the majority of current orders (business-wise) are for smaller pieces like this matzah cover for passover (which starts next week).

This one is actually for my dentist (bless her) who has a neutral coloured dining room with moss green chairs. Her table is usually set with white and silver. I hope this combination works for her.

The back has some extra pockets built in to hold 3 pieces of matzah.

And if you look closely, you'll see one of my new labels.
Here's a better shot ...

And here are the 5 colour ways I've chosen to have printed:

Happy passover / easter / whatever you are celebrating this month.

I need your advice please!!!

Late last year, I showed some of my work to the local Jewish Museum Shop.

They are interested in having some of my Challah Covers in the shop but were concerned that the fabrics were too garish.

They requested some more conservative looking pieces.

I agreed to make them 6 covers and here's what I came up with.
(Left side is the front. Right side, the back)

Click on the image to see it larger.

They are each about 20" x 16".

I know, not all of them are so conservative looking, but I just had to be true to myself (and my fabric stash).

Tell me, especially those of you from Jewish backgrounds:

• Which would you buy for your homes?
• Which would you buy for your mothers?
• Which would your mothers buy for themselves?
• Would you buy one for a wedding gift? A Bat-Mitzvah?
  

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
