Reflections on our Sew-a-Long June 1

By -

While Tikvah Rabah was founded with a focus on assisting and blessing Holocaust Survivors in Israel, as we have discovered (and not surprisingly), the needs are great across Israel. In discussion with one of our Ministry Partners - Yeshua's Fresh Bread, we learned that they assist many families immigrating to Israel from The Nations - from Ethiopia to Ukraine and Russia. A new project has formed for Tikvah Rabah: making dresses from pillowcases for girls in first thru fourth grades. The idea coming from http://www.dressagirlaroundtheworld.com/ . So, On June 1st, we had our first Sew-a-Long with
sewing machines blazing across unique pillowcases turning what was once a ho-hum household item to a a charming and delightful little dress for a precious little girl! Ladies were eager to take home the projects to complete. We estimate we have approximately 60 dresses completed with the remaining 40 nearing completion!

These can be any pattern/design (including rag quilts) ! For the baby quilts the size should be 30x40 and the lap quilts should be 40 x 50. We do have baby batting as well as scraps in cotton … as well as larger pieces of flannel! I believe the preference is that the baby quilts NOT be tied. So, if you are interested

On Any Given Sunday...The Common Thread

Tikvah Rabah began quilting for Holocaust survivors just about 3 years ago. In looking back, there have been a few bumps in the road and we've learned a lot: a lot about sewing, quilting, fabric, best practices for efficiency, consistency and TEAMWORK! On any given Sunday we meet we have about 20 or so people with a variety of skill sets. Some have been lifelong seamstresses and quilters while others are just beginning their journey into sewing. On any given Sunday we meet we have 3 generations of people. Women, men and teens. Some have been coming since the beginning while others are new to the fold. The common thread between these people is an intense, unyielding passion and love for these precious people we serve and The G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. And then, there's Yeshua. We desire to serve Him with our hands. The Ruach is ever present washing over these quilts with LOVE and He breathes life in us as we serve! Here's a few of the quilts we'
