ABOVE: This 100" x 100" chuppah is a 'memory quilt' created by the loved ones of the bride and groom. They sent 44 squares to friends and family and asked them to decorate them and return them to the bride's mother.
Marilyn cropped and arranged them into this wonderful chuppah for the wedding ceremony. Afterwards it will be a magnificent wall hanging for their home.
The picture to the left was taken on a king sized bed. The navy border cannot be seen in this picture.
The chuppah will be carried down the aisle by four friends and held by four family members during the ceremony.
The four deceased grandparents' pictures are above the bride's and groom's positions for the ceremony. The bride and groom will feel their presence. Some of the squares are photo transfers and some have been artistically prepared. All transmit the good wishes of the relatives and friends.
The fabric squares sent out to the guests were burgundy, gold, green or blue. The squares of the most intimate friends and closest family are in the 'inner square', and more casual acquaintances are in the 'outer square'. Let's make wonderful memories together. contact Marilyn, the Tallitmaaven.

The sun is dupioni silk. Three pomegranates containing approximately 613 beads and French knots represent the 613 mitzvot. The leaves are on silk velvet tree/branches. Leaves are various colours of silk and various textures. The phrase on top of the chuppah was taken from the phrase on the wedding invitations. The Hebrew date and the names of the bride and groom are also embroidered. The chuppah/wall hanging was created with love.
Notice that the number of leaves are counted out into multiples of 18.
All of our Friends & Relatives created squares for our Chuppah!!

CHUPPAH from the Bride's late father's TIES
The Bride wanted her late Father's presence at her wedding. Marilyn was commissioned to create this 'TIE' Chuppah from sixteen ties from his collection. The circle of ties represents the circle of life--never ending. The pomegranates have approximately 613 hand beaded and embroidered seeds in each one to represent the 613 mitzvot a Jew is commanded to perform. The bride and groom's names are embroidered in Hebrew along with "Onee ledodi, ledodi lee".
The body of this chuppah is created of dupioni silk to compliment Father's silk ties.
An Art Quilt hanger is built into this masterpiece so that it will enhance the walls of the newlywed's home for many years.
