"...Another glowing endorsement for Amy Lassman of Adar Designs. She did an amazing job creating my daughter's tallis bag and was a joy to work with at every step of the process. I gave her the raggedy needlepoint canvas I had stitched and she turned it into a beautiful heirloom, with my daughter's Hebrew name stitched on the back, and her English name and bat mitzvah date along with an art palette on the inside. We are lucky to have her nearby!"  May 2021

"...Absolutely stunning, and even more beautiful in person. The artistry and quality are unmatched by anything I've seen in another tallit. It's so clear that the artist puts her heart and soul into every single piece. A one-of-a-kind treasure to cherish for a lifetime."   April 2021

"...Our son had his pre-bar mitzvah meeting with the Rabbi thisweek to practice his dvar Torah. He refers to his tallit several times in hisspeech, particularly about the middot and who he wants to be as a Jewish adult— an aspect he wouldn’t have thought of without your suggestion of puttingmiddot on the corners in the first place. In fact, he wound up telling ourrabbi all about his new tallit when they discussed his dvar and the rabbisuggested he also take time at the beginning of the ceremony to explain to thecongregation the choices he made to design it. So, there you go, both yourbeautiful work and the process you took our son through to design it will figureprominently in his bar mitzvah service, and also just in his thought process ofwho he wants to be in the Jewish world. I can’t thank you enough for that. We are so grateful. "

"...I asked for the impossible and you created something beautiful. I found the symbolism and messages in it and eventually my love of it. It has become a part of our family....Hannah absolutely loves it and she is exceptionally proud of it. That is in part because of all the attention she gets from people. It turns out it's quite the attention getting piece. But, also because of it's beauty, how it is so "her" with the lavender, and how meaningful it is. She wears it easily and happily whenever there's a chance.".... August 2020

"...I just wanted to tell you that last night we had a ZoomSisterhood meeting and we presented your beautiful challah cover to our SHCo-Presidents. I held it up for all to see. They were overwhelmed with tears ofjoy and gratitude. This morning I e-mailed them photos of it so that they couldget a better idea.

One day, hopefully soon, they will be able to use it asthey make motzi on Erev Shabbat in our actual Temple.

 Our committeemembers were all texting each other. We felt so good that we were able to dothis for them and that the response from everyone was so great.

Thank you, again, for sharing your talents and for makingall of this possible.

Wishing you and your loved ones continued good health andmay we meet again at another Biennial event!!

Shabbat Shalom!

"...I realized that there were so many wonderful "surprises" I noticed and I was too excited to mention them, starting with the butterfly lining. It is like a painting, the more you look at it it the more you see. The bag is gorgeous with the shirt fabric, the gold braiding and the beautiful gold flowers. I don't think that I completely understood what the Atarah was going to look like until I saw it. The Tallit is more beautiful and special then anything I could have bought. It is especially meaningful that the package arrived on Friday.
My dad is shining down on both of us. Thank you for becoming a part of my life...." June 2019

"...we received the Tallit and it is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. The bag is equally as beautiful. Thank you so much for putting so much effort and energy into creating both pieces. The Tallit will now begin a journey as my son wears it throughout his life. It will undoubtedly be a most treasured object by him, and me. Thank you for enabling my mother to present my son with something so meaningful. Your work is exceptional...." May 2019

“…a full year, a cycle of Shabbat and holidays with my new...and old…tallit. Culminating this past Shabbat when I wore it to say Yiskor for my parents. Being enveloped in this beautiful tallit, imbued with love and meaning has enhanced every experience of being in shul. It is far more profound to wrap myself in this mixture of old and new than even the original one.

Thank you for your vision and skill that you have brought me this joy. May you go from strength to strength...” May 2019

"...It's BEAUTIFUL! ...The matzah cover had its inaugural use at our KS community seder . Everyone admires your handiwork, as I showed it to lots of congregants last week. Rosalie was also extremely appreciative, as either she or I have used our own matzah covers from home all these years. The embroidery on the back is also exquisite. Finally we have this gorgeous piece of Judaica, thoughtfully and carefully crafted by you. It fits our aesthetic perfectly! " June 2019

"...Thank  you for the most precious and loved talises you made for my daughters.  Handing  over my mother’s and my wedding dresses was emotionally heart wrenching and I  shed so many tears while carefully selecting each piece and you custom   envisioning their placement.  Nothing could have prepared me for the  finished product.  The labor of love and heart you put into them is  unparalleled.  Now the tears I shed at looking at these marvelous  masterpieces are tears of joy and happiness, at knowing that each time my  daughters wrap themselves in their heritage they will also be wrapping them in  mine and my mother’s love as well.  There is no one I would trust more to   accomplish this than you.  And with Gd’s blessings, you will create a  chuppah for them in the future."    June 2018

“..I want to tell you how perfect the black bag is for tonite’s wedding. The bags are gorgeous!!! You are amazing….” August 2015

“…I just had to tell you that my mom was visiting a few weeks ago and we were strolling around Brookline. We went into Kolbo and she made a beeline for a rack of purses she just couldn’t take her eyes off. We left the store with her happier than ever, carrying one of your purses, it was really beautiful….She called me today to report that she loves it and uses it all the time. Thanks for that…..” August 2015

“…My mother gave me a talit that belonged to my brother who passed away over 30 years ago and since it was from the 70’s, it was way too small to use in it’s original condition. Amy was able to transform the tallit in to the one we presented to Sam for his Bar Mitzvah and this was quite meaningful for me. Thank you for your beautiful work and attention to detail. You have been fabulous to work with!” …November 2015
