She learned embroidery from her mother and during elementary school. She has a keen eye for beauty, often recalling inspiring designs to incorporate into her work later. Hiba specializes in traditional Palestinian embroidery, blending patterns from various villages such as Bethlehem, Ramallah, and Hebron in her creations. She sells her work across Israel and maintains connections with both Jewish and Arab women.\n\nHiba finds great joy and purpose in embroidery. During a severe illness caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the anticipation of returning to her craft provided her with strength and played a significant role in her recovery.\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"tribe-title\"\u003ePalestinian\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe women embroiderers of East Jerusalem live in a village called Sur Baher, with some hailing from nearby Palestinian villages south of Jerusalem. While deeply rooted in their Palestinian identity, they also forge meaningful connections and integration with Western Israeli society. Their coexistence is evident in the friendship and interpersonal relationships they maintain with women from West Jerusalem and Israelis in general, including participating in joint meetings for embroidery, with the support of the Jerusalem Municipality Center.\n\nHistorically, the colorful Palestinian embroidery adorned with gold threads was reserved for royalty and nobility as it was crafted by skilled artisans. Traditionally created by women at home, this art reflects their beliefs and traditions, wonderfully preserving the multicultural heritage of erstwhile Palestine through ancient motifs and knowledge passed down through generations.\n\nPalestinian embroiderers typically learn their craft from their mothers, using traditional techniques and patterns from villages like Bethlehem, Negev, Jaffa, Tiberias, and Hait Khalil, and sometimes incorporate modern patterns such as flowers and decorative motifs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rootsstudio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45996768952539,"sku":null,"price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7588\/files\/HibaAbuTeer-8-1-1.png?v=1725893767","url":"https:\/\/rurbanstudio.com\/products\/hibaabuteer-8-1-1","provider":"Roots Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
