Tallit Commission: A Time for Machine Embroidery from Gefilte Quilt

Here's my latest commission, and although I live in California, and the client lives in the southeast USA, it was made with help from one of the best Judaica machine embroiderers on the planet, Marilyn Levy of Ontario, Canada. It's a tallit (prayer shawl) for a young man's bar mitzvah.

Like all my commissions, this one started out with a discussion with the young man's family. They wanted cotton, with a leafy design, in blue and grey, so I drew up choices.

I love the texture simple straight line ...

Same story as African Commission #1, which you can read about here. I convinced her that she should give me free reign on design for the second quilt.
