Almond trees are the first trees of the year to bloom in Israel, with flowers appearing even before the leaves. The Hebrew word for almond, “shakeid,” comes from the same root as the word for “wakeful.”
This challah cover features blossoming appliqued almond branches against a clear sky and the Hebrew words “Shabbat Shalom” for a peaceful Shabbat. Finished Size: 19” x 15” (48cm x 38cm) TechniquesThe instructions cover machine applique for the branches, blossoms, and letters.
