the “Tatreez Quilt” print: 35 motifs, 3 colorways.⁠
⁠
each square pulls from the visual language of Palestinian tatreez across villages: birds, cypress trees, eight-pointed stars, florals, and geometric borders, each with its own place in our embroidery tradition. I sourced many of the motifs from my own family’s villages.⁠
⁠
arranged as a patchwork, hand-painted to capture the organic nature of tatreez, and available in indigo, earth, and berry. pulled these motifs from nabil anani & sliman mansour’s seminal “Guide to Palestinian Embroidery”.⁠

raising kids who know where they come from starts with what’s on their shelf 🇵🇸📚⁠
⁠
back to school means a lot of things — new supplies, new routines, new backpacks. but for us, it’s also a chance to think about what’s going on the bookshelf.⁠
⁠
these are the stories we want kids reading and re-reading: Palestine taught through family, memory, food, folktales, and love. some are gentle. some carry more weight than they let on. all of them plant something that lasts long after the school year ends.⁠
⁠
swipe through our back-to-school picks — and if you’ve read any of these with your own kids, tell us your fave. 📚🇵🇸⁠
