Call for Designers: Paper Pieced Pattern-A-Day Blog Hop!
To celebrate my birthday in April, I will be hosting my first ever Blog Hop: Paper Pieced Pattern-A-Day, right here on Sewhooked! Our first theme is Garden Party. The Blog Hop will feature free paper pieced patterns by 30 designers, and you are invited to participate! Participants will post your pattern on your own blog on your assigned day and I will publicize your block here on Sewhooked and around the web on other sites where I’m active.
Details:
- Theme: Garden Party
- Patterns are to be paper (foundation) pieced
- Finished blocks should be 10″ (10 1/2″ unfinished)
- Patterns are to be free to download and print. PDF files work great for this. You can print document and image files to a PDF with free software like Primo PDF or Cute PDF
- Email a photo (at least 500 pixels wide) and the name of your block to sewhooked@gmail.com at least three days before your assigned date so I can publicize your design
- Blog post should be available by 8 am (CST) on your assigned date
- Blog post needs to include a sample block or project from your pattern
- All designers retain rights to his/her own patterns, pictures, etc.
- Optional: giveaway or some other prize for your readers
- Have fun!
Please note: if you do not have your own blog, but you are a pattern designer that would like to participate by contributing a free pattern, please include that in your information and we will make arrangements to post your pattern here on Sewhooked.

Yes yes, this is awsome!! I would love to participate, can you explain a bit more what you mean with Garden party? The posh social gathering or everything having to do with a garden?
I’d be thrilled to have you join!
I’m leaving the interpretation up to the designers, so you could go either way!
This sounds like such fun! I love paper piecing and don’t get to do it nearly often enough!
I’m so glad to have you!
Squee. I’m in!
To bad my birthday is taken, I hope to get my cat’s birthday instead
I’m amazed how fast the days are being snapped up! I think this is going to be a lot of fun.
