Pillowcase Dresses - the Saga Continues

Image
You've probably heard snippets of the saga of our beautiful, unique dresses we sent to Israel last month.  Who knew you could take a simple pillowcase, perform some minor alterations and add some embellishments and "viola'" a beautiful little dress is created.   Our crafters had a goal of 100;  we ended up with 137!  Thank You, Yeshua!   However, as we quickly discovered, there are international shipping requirements that are taken quite seiously by customs officials.  Back and forth - this and that - time and time again - for every step forward, we fell two steps back!   Today, we received notification that our lovely, little dresses will be returned (they could have been thrown away or sold at auction - so, again, Thank You, Yeshua!   Keep praying for the door to open for these dresses to get to Israel.   And we know that all things work together for the good of them who love G-d, to them who are called according to His purpose.

Quilting Update: We had a wonderful time on Sunday with our quilting project! Twelve wonderful ladies gathered to iron, cut, design and sew quilt tops.

Dudley very much wants to make this connection with us in person regarding th

Kind of to do a #ThrowbackThursday when we haven't been established for a year quite yet.  However, we will take the rather short walk down memory lane to reflect upon our first craft project:  lovely, frilly, feminine scarves!   Available in so many colors - there's something for everyone!  Your purchase helps support Holocaust Survivors and the poor in #Israel.  We look forward to opening our Etsy store soon!   #tbt

Our Newest Project!

Funny how G-d works. What started out as a conversation between Glenda and Dudley of Israel Food Outreach, (we thought we were going to be able to use their cargo ship to get our 400 + hats/scarves to Israel), unfolded to become our newest project: Making quilts for the Holocaust Survivors in Israel! Israel Food Outreach partners with Gleanings for the Hungry to get these quilts to the precious survivors. We are humbled and blessed to be Yeshua's hands on this project! And, we really appreciate the enthusiasm we have received for this project! Just so we are all on the same page, here’s our plan of action! Now: We are in the preparation phase. We should be washing, sorting, ironing and cutting squares at this point. If you have fabric you have taken home, please continue to iron and cut squares and feel free to bring back your cut squares so we may organize them by similar color tones. We would like to have cutting and sewing already designed tops at h
