Hanukkah in July, Day 1

First, some housekeeping. Comments for anyone not a follower of my blog are turned off because I've been inundated with porn spam from outside and I can't keep up with deleting them. You can always send me comments via email: kratovil@his.com. I hope this is a temporary measure!

Now, for the first day of my Hanukkah posts. I had a small bit of some special Hanukkah fabrics from 15 years ago and I used it to make some cards. These window cards can be bought at a Michaels or other craft supply store. Sure, those are snowflakes, but Christmas doesn't have exclusive rights to them!

I had made some little gift bags 15 years ago. Navy stars and sprinkles. That awesome dreidel motif was fussy cut and fused on the bag. I don't have any more of that.

I showed this photo to Quilting Arts back in 2015 and they picked up my pattern. I rewrote it and made a few new bags.

Do you remember seeing these? You have lots of time between now and December to whip up a few of these for your friends who celebrate Hanukkah!

These are 3 of the paper pieced dreidels. I still have a few left and I plan on making more of these little bags.

I'll see you in a few days for another Hanukkah in July post!
