Pillowcase Dresses - the Saga Continues

By -
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.

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 ...

No Regrets

Glenda forwarded me this link after she and Dudley watched it the other night. She thought we should put it out on Facebook.  I'll be honest, when I first watched it I didn't "get" how it was appropriate for Tikvah Rabah.  The more I have been ruminating on the story, the message, the more I realize it is a powerful message that does need to be put out there or "here".   It is based on a true story of a older man who is haunted by his past.  A young Christian boy during the Holocaust he would often hear the train as it would pass by during church.   One particular Sunday the train broke down in front of the church during service.  The parishioners and priest hear the cries of those inside the rail cars.  What happens next haunts this boy for the rest of his days.   So, what can we take away from this 11 minute video?  As much as many of us would love to go back and right the injustice of the past we can't.  We can seek to love, pray for ...

What's New With Tikvah Rabah?

Life moves so quickly. Work, Family, Friends, Congregation - there's many obligations one has in ones life. Some things fall by the wayside. This blog is one of them. Posting events and pictures seems much easier thru Facebook. My apologies. So, what's new in our world? We have now shipped out 368 quilts to Israel! This has been amazing to watch the different quilts come together. The next shipment of quilts leaves California in September according to Dudley Goff, the Israel Food Outreach founder. Dudley spent 7 weeks in Israel this Spring distributing soup mix to the hungry and quilts to the survivors. He was gracious to share pictures of his visit with Susan Heagy of Abundant Hope International. When I see these pictures, I know all that juggling of commitments and priorities becomes clear: Serve the poor! Until next time - Le Hetriot!
