PASSOVER 2
|
|
BEYOND
QUILTED MATZOH |
| |
Passover is a holiday so rich with stuff (cleaning, laboring over a hot stove, horseradish, Maneschewitz,
locating the silver polish, splitting seas, splitting headaches, political arguments, eggs, oranges, and---above all--- those darned plagues), that even after making dozens of Passover-related textiles, I've barely scratched the surface. Here's more of what I've felt compelled to make:

(Right) "Spilled Wine and Plagues" matzoh cover.
Images suggesting plagues were cut from commercial fabric, and pieced in
place around the matzoh. Foundation-pieced pyramids are in the
corners. Plagues names, in English and Hebrew are in the
wine puddles, transferred from computer to fabric. Click on image for a
closer look. |

(Left) "Old Plagues on Them, New Plagues on Us."
The more you think about the plagues, the less friendly they seem. Of course,there are contemporary plagues.
I revel in some of my least favorite on this wall hanging. Detail below. Click on large or small image for a closer look.

(Right) "Eggs and Wine" matzoh cover
Like matzoh itself, this was made in a hurry! The design is freehand cut from fabric backed with fusible web. The top was machine-quilted with gold metallic threads. Hard-boiled eggs were my husband's last-minute idea. OK ,they came out bigger than he wine glasses. This is FOLK art, folks! Click on image for a closer look. |

(Right): From Egypt to West
Hartford, Connecticut, to Miami Beach: This is a matzoh cover for the
Friedman family. Prairie point pyramids are along the top;
American monuments at the bottom. And all kinds of stuff is in between!
