Cheryl Lynch (Episode 811: Quilt a Fiesta with Tile-Inspired Quilts) recently told Alex about a Jewish tradition; when the baby comes home from the hospital, a red ribbon is tied onto the crib or the bassinette. Reciting 'kein ayin hora' (also kineahora) which roughly translates to "may the evil eye stay away" is meant to keep away the evil spirits.
Do you and your family have any similar traditions regarding the arrival of a new baby? We want to keep Alex and John's new grandchild safe and ready to sew!
