The Lutheran Church of the Holy Communion is participating in a citywide display of ceramic art by many Tyler School of Art graduates and staff during the Education for the Ceramic Arts Conference held in Philadelphia during the last week of March. http://nceca.net/static/conference_home.php

            The exhibition held at 2111 Sansom Street, is officially on the map, along one of the shuttle bus routes for this three day event; Wednesday, March 31, Thursday, April 1st and Good Friday, April 2nd. Volunteers from the church and the Welcome Center will host a Tea and Cakes cafe for visitors.  They are inviting guests into their beautiful sanctuary. The theme for this show is titled TEMPLES.  (The Welcome Center will be closed during this week).

       Young children from the “Delaware Museum Hurray for Clay” program created 70 brightly glazed mugs , which will be sold during this event.  They will be available from March 28^th, if you would like to preview them.  This gift to the church was by art instructor for the Delaware Museum, Jacqueline Jrolf.   Jackie is also an artist participating in this event and one of the curators of the exhibition.

I have two examples of how Rita Schaer’s talent transformed my life. A client spilled coffee on the backside of a pillow that was needle pointed by my deceased mother-in-law. I felt sad throwing it away, but didn’t see any options. The pillow was ruined. I cannot sew.

However, when I told my sentimental husband I was going to trash the pillow, his reaction propelled me to research alternatives.

I met Rita, owner of Maridadi services, in a communication course. When I learned she was a seamstress, I asked her for help with my pillow. Rita did an excellent job of superb workmanship. She was fast and efficient with an excellent eye for detail. My pillow looked like new.

The second time Rita came to the rescue was with my winter vintage coat. The sleeves were too long so it felt uncomfortable to wear, so it wound up hanging in my closet instead of keeping me warm.

Within a week or so Rita transformed my clunky coat into a high-fashioned jacket that feels good to wear. Her craftsmanship is impeccable.

Maridadi is Swahili for anything beautiful, tasteful, or pleasing to the eye. That is the kind of design and workmanship that you can expect from Swiss-trained Seamstress and Designer Rita L. Schaer. Rita studied Haute Couture in Switzerland, where they put emphasis on professional quality. She has 26 years experience and has been in business in the USA since 1988.

From simple alterations to full-blown original fashion creations, Rita Schaer has the talent and experience to help you get what you are looking for, or even go beyond your expectations.
