Design Source - Description | Catching up with posting! Hope it's OK to put up PC's because I love doing these to hone decorative quilting skills. For the 07 Festival of Lights, I zeroed in on the flame and digitized an applique design with Layout and Editing in PE Design 6. The blue part of the flame has the Hebrew letters that are found on the dreydel, which since the Diaspora stand for "A great miracle happened there," meaning in Israel. However, dreydels in Israel say "A great miracle happened here," and because I sent this card to a friend in Israel, I substituted the pey (stands for PO which means "here") for the shim (stands for SHAM) which means "there." I spent about 20 hours creating the design and about 1 1/2 hrs to make each card on my Baby Lock Ellageo3. |
