Hanukkah in July and FREE Pattern

Sometimes we make errors. Sometimes they're BIG errors. But the good part is that we can fix them!

My new calendar has 3 blocks in December for Hanukkah. One of them slipped through with some serious cutting errors. Let's see 3 of them and then get the FREE pattern:

December 4 Four and Nine Block: 16"

I remade it using the Golden Harvests fabric by Benartex.

Then I have the Jerusalem Block for December 6. It's 10". Here is how it looks in the calendar.

I decided that the center needed something exciting so I added my 6" paper pieced dreidel.

Do you remember my Dreidel Bags that appeared in Quilting Arts Magazine a few years ago. That's the block I used for the center of this!

The Star of Hope is our FREE block. It's the December 5 block and I got it ALL WRONG in the calendar. The patches are wrong as well as the cutting. So, here it is corrected (and FREE). First, I stitched it in Benartex Equinox fabrics. She is lovely, isn't she?

Then I stitched it using the Golden Harvest fabrics:

Use any colors. If you don't celebrate Hanukkah, make it with Christmas fabrics. It's a Star of HOPE and we all need some of that!
