Welcome, welcome to 2016 and the very first day of My Favorite Things, my 2016 Block of the Month!
My Favorite Things includes 12 brand new patterns to paper piece in both 6″ and 12″, as well as a number of bonus blocks to mix and match your own favorites!
These patterns are MY Favorite Things, but I hope you will find some of your favorites along the way, too!
***IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT HOW THIS BOM WORKS***
The first day of each month in 2016 is FREE PATTERN DAY. At that time, you can download the monthly BOM pattern for free from 8am CST on the 1st to 8am CST on the 2nd.

First up in My Favorite Things might be a bit obvious, but it’s an absolute necessity: A Sewing Machine!
I had a great deal of fun designing each and every pattern for My Favorite Things. My goal is fun, cute, versatile patterns that are are easy to piece.

Printed and ready to go.
Yay, I’m so glad you’re playing along!
Having printer problems, mine is 1/8th off no matter what I do. I will have to investigate or take up street and have printed. I think it is time for a new printer. At least I have it saved. Love the first block.
Well, boo on printer problems. Neither my tester or I had any issues. 😦
The upside with this particular design (and rest of the blocks, too), is that it can be squared up to the correct size and the difference should be completely unnoticeable.
I’m glad you’re joining us!
I’m new to paper piecing. So, I don’t fully understand what to do, maybe during this month, I will ‘get with it’. Love the sewing machine.
Love the sewing machine!
Thanks for yet again another wonderful pattern. Will be sewing along as well (in between finish up my POD).
My pleasure, Steph, I’m happy to hear you’ll be joining in! 🙂
I love this!

Thanks, Sallie!
i didnt pay attention to the time yesterday when i saw it. so I missed pattern
After the first day, you can still get each pattern from my Craftsy for a tiny fee: http://craftsy.com/sewhooked. 🙂
first: i have never seen a pattern posted for 1 day.secondly, there are so many FREE patterns out there why in the world would I pay. NO THANKS!
Only ONE day to get it free?!?!?! No other site does this. Either give it free, or make it a paid pattern.
yeah I missed the free day too I suppose lol I only get to see these emails a few times a week and I’m so backed up
There’ll be another free pattern February 1, I hope you come back by! 🙂
Jennifer…you sent me the sewing machine pattern (thank you btw) and I was unable to print it because of a printer problem…so i saved it. I was unaware of the 24 hour policy. Is it possible you would give me permission to make the print? Sincerely Pege’ Rogers
