Chuppa ideas/instructions for a friend

Somebody in the group made one a few years ago -check the archives. Does anybody remember her name? My brain is mush, but I do remember the photo looked great! Roberta in D

You need a regular quilt of the appropriate size. Quilt and bind normally. Instead of one sleeve on the back, put on 4. That's a sleeve on every side. The sleeves don't meet exactly at the corners. There's a few inches of space between them. The boards are flat and have pole sized circle cut out of the ends. For the ceremony, a board goes through every sleeve. The boards are joined at the corners. Heavy twine or wire will do. Then a pole fits through the circular hole.

After the wedding, the hardware comes out, and the quilt can go on a bed or be hung on the wall.

Thanks!! I did a search on RCTQ but only 2 posting come up ...I seem to remember this subject discussed over several different people. MMM in central Wi

This might offer some ideas...

I seem to recall Pat in VA made one that was really nice. Pat? Where are you??? Was it indeed you that made one???

Leslie, Missy & The Furbabies in MO.

Not I! I think Heidi made one. Or maybe her name comes to mind because she is a Rabbi. I haven't seen her around RCTQ Land lately though. PAT, playing hooky from the sewing room re-do

There was an article a few years back in one of the quilting magazines but I don't rmemeber which one. But, I do recall that one had a gorgeous Tree of Life as the central motif. I love the idea of them, though I hadn't heard of them until a few years ago.

Where's our jeanne tonight? She can find everything. We had quite a long discussion and Show and Tell here a while back. Lots of us who knew very little about the wedding traditions of other faiths enjoyed the love and beauty that went into the chuppa creations. Polly
