Those skillful “Palestinian craftsmen” were, in practice, Arab Christian artisans in Bethlehem, yet the piece itself is undeniably beautiful.

This particular model belongs to the Terra Sancta Museum in Jerusalem and is currently on view at the Frick Collection in New York.

In 2012, the British Museum’s exhibition Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam displayed three examples of such models. A related article,“Sacred souvenir: the Holy Sepulchre models in the British Museum,” begins with this summary:

"An exhibition at the British Museum in 2012, which focused on one of the three models of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the collection, provided an opportunity for the reinvestigation of their materials and of the craft tradition from which they arose. Made in Bethlehem by Arab Christians in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these models were sold to pilgrims and exported throughout western Europe."

It seems workshop attribution changes with the fashion of the moment.

My second ever paper pieced quilt friend! Lots of learning and seam ripping during the making of him, but I'm so proud of him! The blue fabrics are vintage bed sheets I inherited from my grandma, and his antenna and feet are a really pretty velveteen gifted by a friend.

This was also my first time trying out echo quiting and a new method of binding. But don't look at the back...
