I volunteered to make the chuppah - thinking a quilt was in order. Early on Shelly sent me an image of what her heart desired for the chuppah and 100% cotton was not in the picture. So Wendy (she was on the recent Baltic cruise with us) helped with the fancy fabric aspect of the chuppah - then I did the hand embroidery on the edges. In Hebrew it says, I am my beloved and my beloved is mine. It will be attached to the stand with hand dyed silk ribbons -
