Diana Drew, copresident of National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris (NJ) Section, is a prize-winning former daily newspaper reporter, a longtime book editor, and a publicist with Stella Hart Public Relations in Randolph, New Jersey. After working on a breathtaking quilted chuppah with other members of NCJW, West Morris, she felt compelled to spotlight this and other stunning Jewish fabric crafts in a book devoted to these crafts and the people who make them. Diana lives in northern New Jersey with her husband, Robert Grayson (who wrote this book's lovely part openings), and their cats, Tikvah and Mitzvah.
