I married into a Jewish family in my 40s. Growing up I had played the Dreidel game and heard the story of Hanukkah at school but it wasn’t until I experienced Hanukkah first hand that I had a full appreciation for the holiday.

I love the focus on spending time with family and the tradition of lighting the candles on the Menorah – symbolizing the oil that should have lasted only a day, lasting for eight nights. The simple colors and patterns speak to me as an artist. I am excited to share the Hanukkah Nights fabric collection and hope that the patterns and imagery capture the spirit of Hanukkah for you and your family as well.
Don’t miss the fabulous Placemat Panel designed to go with this collection!
We are expecting Hanukkah Nights to arrive in May 2023! Already dreaming of what you’ll create with it? Be sure to check with your favorite local or online quilt shop to see if they will be stocking this collection! Are you a shop owner? Hanukkah Nights is available for wholesale orders now!
Designer: Tara Reed
Tara has been creating things for as long as she could hold a crayon, pencil or paintbrush. She remembers falling in love with sewing in the 7th grade when her friend’s mom taught them how to make wrap-around skirts! (Remember them??) She loves to sew for the home and began quilting in the 90s when her son was born. Her motto is, “Why buy something if you can make it?”
Since 2004, Tara has licensed her watercolors for a myriad of products sold online and in stores worldwide – from garden flags to coffee mugs, wall art to dishes and of course – fabric. Creating patterns, like those that grace bolts of fabric featuring her art, is one of her favorite things to do. Tara creates from her home studio in Portland, Oregon.
