The Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga is having an exhibit of Jewish prayer shawls at the Jewish Cultural Center now through January 15, 2014. There are 21 tallitot (prayer shawls) of diverse fabrics and styles. I have been to the Jewish Cultural Center several times and the exhibits are always fascinating. If anyone would like to go we should consider a group trip to ohhh and ahhh over the workmanship together. The Center is located at 5461 North Terrace Road in Chattanooga. Hours are Monday through Thursday 9:00 - 5:00. Friday hours are 9:00 - 4:00. The gallery will be closed December 24, 25, 31 and January 1.
GreatFul Threads has been asked to work with the Children's Discovery Museum in order to teach basic quilting skills to the children who go through the museum. Quilt blocks made will be put together, quilted and hung at the museum, along with GreatFul Thread art quilts, during the during the American Quilters Society (AQS) show in September. This will be discussed during our first 2014 meeting, January 23.
I do hope all GreatFul Thread participants are working on their blocks displaying the technique each
drew from the basket at our October meeting. Each block is due the following month from which it was chosen. January being the exception to this rule since we do not meet the months of November and December.
May each of you have an inspiring and creative Christmas season. Send me an email if there are any question.
