What a great idea to share with members of your family. Gather your mother, sister, brother, aunt, or any other family member and cross-stitch verses from the Torah. They will be stitched together with other verses from around the world to create a communal, hand-stitched Torah that will become a traveling museum exhibit.
From the site:
Almost 85% of the 1464 sections have been assigned to stitchers in 22 countries. The vast majority of these panels have been completed, and we are working on strategies for assembly and exhibition.
New stitchers are still welcome. If you have already stitched, please be an ambassador to engage participants particularly in Europe, Africa and South America.
When we tried the Clover Fabric Folding Pen our exact words were "Oh my gosh this is so COOL!"
The Clover Fabric Folding Pen makes it easy to press a fold into fabric on the fly and without an iron. To use it, simply fill the pen with water and a few drops of the included marking solution and draw a line on fabric - either up against a ruler or free hand. Then fold where you drew the line and crease it with your fingertips, and voila- it stays folded as if it had been pressed!
Imagine how easy it would be to make napkins with this!
If you missed out on them earlier, now is your chance.
Check out what customers have said about them-

A. said, "I used the press pen on flannel... ...SO good!"
C.N. said, "These products are wonderful. I use them all the time and they work very well and no damage to fabrics. (And no, I’m not on the payroll!)"
Precision Piecing Without Pins!
The Acorn Precision Piecing Kit gives you ultimate control in assembling quilt blocks and appliqué pieces, making everything go together more easily and precisely.
The kit has three components:
Seam Align Glue
Seam Align Glue is used in place of pins and holds your fabric pieces together more securely than pins with no slipping. The soft and flexible non-toxic glue comes in a squeeze bottle with a precision tip so that you can apply it with total accuracy.
Easy Press Solution & Easy Press Pen
Press your sewn block seam open, and then use the Easy Press Pen with to apply the Easy Press Solution directly to the "high side" of the seam. Press again to get a perfectly flat seam that makes it easy to align and assemble quilt blocks.

There are so many facets of the quilting world to love. And, although I am a pretty traditional quilter who loves a great pattern, I do appreciate and love the variety of quilts and quilters! This month at the Twigs Gallery in Sisters, Oregon, the Reef exhibit was amazing. I have a hopeful heart for our world when I see a young woman like Katie Dumolt, whose passion for a better world is translated into quilts in such a profound way. What a wonderful combination!! I hope you enjoy the slide show, all the pieces are for sale and part of the proceeds will be donated to help restore the Coral Reefs. Just contact the Stitchin' Post.
