Audrey Rosner, CPNP, is one of my favorite friends. I was a pediatric patient at her office when I was a little girl, and now care for my children. Audrey is a grandmother by now, and she stitches a gift for each grandchild. Girls get siddur covers, and boys receive tefillin bags. Audrey wanted to […]

Tallit Tree of Life with Pomegranates
Our customer Phoebe B. placed a custom order with us for a tallit tree of life canvas with pomegranates growing on the trees in lieu of the flower buds usually there. Look at her stunning results!

Shmuel S. is celebrating his bar mitzvah this year. He loved the tefillin stained glass design, but we needed to incorporate his long name into the design.

Thanks to our talented customer, Erica B., we have this gorgeous tefillin bag stitched in a camel tartan plaid. I admire the preciseness of her stitching. The results are rich and classy. This design is available in tallit, tefillin & yarmulka canvases. Gavriel Chanan (that’s the name stitched in Hebrew) is one lucky boy!

It is stitched in the diagonal hedge row stitch in DMC perle cotton #3 alternating with Kreinik medium braid #16 060. It’s fascinating how the same idea can […]
