SUMMER 2012 - ARTS 

AND CRAFTS WITH 

GRANDMA MAURINE

Maurine's

Friends

My daughter and grandchildren came to visit us for two weeks – 

July 31-August 14, 2012.  Gedalya, the oldest, age 19 on that 

date, lives with us.  The other 3 grandchildren, Devorah, now age 

16, Chaya Nessa age 9 and Yaakov Zev age 6 spent the two 

weeks weaving, sewing, coloring and needle felting. Below are 

pictures showing what they created during this visit.  

DEVORAH -  She began to needle felt a figure on a wire 

armature.  She will finish it when she visits us next time.  She 

also learned how to make a robe by adjusting the pattern, 

cutting out the fabric and sewing it all together.  

CHAYA NESSA  - For one doll I had pre-sewed a doll’s body for 

Chaya Nessa.  For the second doll she designed her own doll 

and then wove fabric on her favorite loom and colored in its 

features.  She then cut out the fabric, sewed the parts together 

and dressed the doll.  I then gave her fabric squares upon which 

she drew pictures.  She then sewed the fabric together and 

turned it into a wonderful quilt.  

YAAKOV ZEV – Spent time coloring in the features of a picture, 

weaving on two looms, drawing the features on a pre-sewn boy 

doll and then sewing clothes for this doll out of felt fabric.  During 

the time they were visiting us, Devorah and Chaya Nessa had 

hair cuts.  You will notice the different lengths of their hair in the 

pictures.
