Fat Quarter Lotto Postponed

Leave a reply

Hello, my friends!

If you’ve been around for any length of time, then you’ll know that every April I celebrate my birthday all month long by inviting you to participate in a Fat Quarter Lotto. You mail Fat Quarters & Orphan Blocks to me and I enter you to win at least 50 of those fat quarters. I give ALL of the fat quarters away on my birthday and the orphan blocks go on to create many, many charity quilts for children in crisis in Central Texas.

To keep you, my friends, as safe as possible, I have decided to postpone the 2020 Fat Quarter Lotto. When the threat of coronavirus has passed, we will have a Fat Quarter Lotto Party, complete with orphan block collection, and the now traditional live stream drawing!

I hope you’re keeping safe and well. Love and healthy thoughts to you and yours!

See you on Tuesday.

Hello, dear friends!

In this crazy time when many of us find our usual activities canceled and ourselves restricted to our homes, I thought a fun, free entirely-online social activity might help us all continue to feel active and connected.

I’m hosting a very informal quilt along over on the Sewhooked Facebook Group.

There are three projects to choose from but there is no schedule and there are no assignments. You pick your project from the three below and we’ll all of sewing along together while sharing our photos and discussion in the Sewhooked Facebook Group.

Participants can choose from the following projects:

Frosted Firs Title

Frosted Firs
(pattern available for free when you join the Sewhooked Facebook Group)

happy hour title happy hour title 2
Happy Hour 1 & Happy Hour 2
(pattern available for free when you join the Sewhooked Facebook Group)

Clover All Over quilt in fabric
Clover All Over
Find the free pattern in on the Sewhooked Free Pattern page.
Also available via the Sewhooked Facebook Group.

I hope to see you there and that sewing with us will bring you some cheer in this strange, strange time.

Sorry, no kitty cameos today. I have been a bit too incapacitated to follow cats around the house! 😉

April is my birthday month and you’re invited to help me celebrate by participating in the 5th Annual Fat Quarter Lotto! 

It’s super easy – send up to four fat quarters & I’ll draw a winner (or winners) “live” on Talk to Me Tuesday on April 30, 2019. There will be 1 winner per 50 fat quarters. Last year we had two winners with 50 fat quarters each and one winner with 25 fat quarters!

Watch last year’s live drawing!

I also share orphan blocks with fellow volunteers to make quilts. Any orphan quilt blocks collected will be turned into quilts for kids in crisis in Central Texas. This collection is personally done by me, Jennifer Ofenstein, and is not sponsored or endorsed by The Linus Connection.

The Sewhooked Fat Quarter Lotto is not a sponsored event and I am not eligible to win. This is just my way to say Thank You for another fun year of sharing! There is no purchase necessary and no obligation to play. I will pay for all return postage.

My Favorite Things – Etsy Update!

Leave a reply

my-favorite-things-quilt-2016

Hello, friends!

In my continued efforts to include all of my for sale PDF patterns to download in my Etsy Shop, I have now added the individual block patterns from My Favorite Things!

My Favorite Things was my 2016 block of the month featuring, as you may remember, many of my favorite things. From sewing and yarn to crayons, and paint, I love all things crafty!

I talked about My Favorite Things in this 2016 Talk to Me Tuesday.

My finished quilt (above) was quilted by Sarah’s Sewing Studio.

Individual blocks with direct links are listed below. Those are just $2.95 each. If you want the entire quilt worth of patterns and instructions, you can get that here for $9.95. All patterns are both 6″ and 12″ to allow you to choose what size quilt (or block!) you’d like to make.

Finally, a big, huge thank you for your patience as I go through the process of updating and adding my patterns to Etsy. I had almost three hundred patterns available through Craftsy, most of them individual blocks patterns like these. I’m working a little at a time to remove broken links from all of my existing patterns and adding my new 1″ scale to all patterns before adding them to Etsy.

If there is something you personally are looking for and haven’t been able to find it, please let me know and I’ll add it straight away.

You can find all my free patterns right here on Sewhooked.

My Favorite Things

Complete Quilt Pattern includes all patterns & instructions

60” x 72” (for 12” blocks)

30” x 36” (for 6” blocks)

My Favorite Things Individual Blocks (6″ & 12″) paper pieced are below.
