    My First Quilted Wall Hanging

    As promised, here is a photo of my latest creation, hand-stitched and made entirely of Guatemalan fabric:

    The piece measures 18 by 24 inches. Each of the twelve squares is made of three different strips of fabric. I loved working with the fabric and trying out different patterns for the arrangement of the squares.

    Such fun!

  1. Absolutely beautiful!

  2. WOW

  3. You should make a tallit, and/or kippah, too. Or do whatever you like, ’cause it’s great.

  4. mm, i think somebody’s favourite colour is purple.
    lovely, i wish i had the patience to sew.

  5. I am loving all the purpleness, it’s my favourite colour too. And the fabric in the backpack in the previous post is absolutely glorious. :)

  6. I know, that backpack fabric knocks me out, too. I’ve saved every little scrap of that material I have. I can’t bear that any of it go to waste!

  7. Beautiful! ;)

About Me

I'm Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg, and I publish this blog, Journeys with Autism. I'm a wife, mother, writer, singer, artist, photographer, community volunteer, and the chapter leader for the Vermont Chapter of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN).


At the age of 50, I awoke to my place on the autism spectrum and discovered a world of gifts, struggles, and life-changing possibilities. My latest book, The Uncharted Path: My Journey with Late-Diagnosed Autism, was published in July of 2010. My work has also appeared in Shift Journal of Alternatives: Neurodiversity and Social Change and in the Disability Rights and Neurodiversity section of the ASAN website.

“What Rachel has written, few others would be able to....An enlightening journey."—Jon Gilbert, author of Same Child, Different Day
