I’m really pleased by this tallit bag. The lines of quilting stiches were a last minute inspiration. I’m a little concerned about the durability of the orange drapery fabric from the 1940’s. Quilting will make it a bit more secure. I also love how the horizontal quilting lines echo both of the ribbed fabrics that make up the bag. I also like the little bits of light that the copper thread give to the tallit bag. I included some action shots of the progress of the stitching An now for the interior, The names of all of the wearers of the tallit. I love how the photos just peek out. The photos inside the bag, including the grandfather of the bar-mitzvah boy wearing the tallit that will live in the bag. Enjoy the following dramatic shots of the bag.
