Dear friends, I had a rough week with very little mojo, and I don’t have a single thing to show. I hope that whatever you’re doing, you can take a moment to slow down and breathe deep.

Time for something completely different! This week, I share a pair of jeans I dyed using a jeans kit by RIT (Back to Blue), talk briefly about screenprinting, and mention an old favorite, Tree Trimming.
Watch a 37-year-old baby talk about Tree Trimming. The a/c was out in our house, which used to happen A LOT! Email sewhooked at gmail for the free pattern through December 31, 2025.
There are lots of resources online showing how to use a Cricut cut or other stencil for screen printing. I used info from Pigskins & Pigtails (which I managed to say in reverse during the video).

Happy December, friends! I finished the stockings I’d mentioned previously. They are made entirely from my stash and came out even better than I imagined! I’ve also got one tiny ornament to share that will be heading out in the mail with a reindeer later this week.

This week, I’m excited to share that I finished our tree skirt! The final quilted and bound skirt is a hair over 51″, made using 4″ (4.5″ cut) squares. I LOVE how this project came out and am looking forward to working on some new stockings next!
Stay to the end for a sassy blue jay birdbath!

Some of my favorite things to play with over the years have been hearts, love, and general happiness!
With Valentine’s Day coming up, it seemed like a good time to share some old favorites. I’d love to see what you can do with these in modern fabrics. If you make any of these, please do share!
All patterns were designed by me and are free for your personal & non-profit use.
Need paper piecing help? I’ve got you!
First, we have some complete quilt patterns:
Fun Fact! Scrappy Heart 2 resulted from a Photoshop design tutorial I shared on YouTube 14 years ago! If you’re interested, you can find Part 1 and Part 2 on my YouTube channel. I currently design in EQ8, but the principals are the same.
Just need a hug? How about a virtual hug?
And, in case you’re not feeling the Valentine’s love, a Broken Heart for anyone who needs a little therapeutic sewing. ♥
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
