Your patience is being rewarded with two slide shows!
Now that all of the text panels and illuminations are complete, you can view mostly continuous sequences. If you let your gaze flow from one slide to the next, you will get a sense of the assembled columns.
There is incredible richness in how many stitchers have embellished their text. Even some of the borders have significance. Please take some time to reference the Torah verses. You will be rewarded!
Be patient as each collection downloads; They are large files.

Continuing into Numbers . . .
With eagerness to work together, but being confined to home, a few Toronto stitchers made beautiful labels for the back of each 3-column unit. They also chatted weekly on Zoom.
Shown are some of the labels from “Genesis” and “Exodus”. Those units went into storage after the 7-month Tapestry of Spirit exhibition at the Textile Museum of Canada.
