Halloween Round-up!

Hello, my dear friends!

I haven’t shared anything aside from Talk To Me Tuesday since having surgery, and since it is October, my favorite month, I couldn’t resist doing a roundup of my own Halloween and fall patterns and tutorials!

I’ve included both Free Patterns & Retired shop patterns below. As a compromise for those who want access to my previously for sale patterns, I will share the pattern of your choice for a small donation to a local-to-you non-profit. More info below with the Retired Patterns.

To date, wonderful quilters have donated over $300 to a wide variety of charities, donated food, clothing, and hundreds of masks to those who need them. Your charitable efforts make my heart swell with happiness and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

What are your favorite things to make for Halloween? I’d love to see! Let me know in comments or share over in the Sewhooked Facebook Group! You can also tag me on Instagram – @sewhookedjen.

RETIRED SHOP PATTERNS

I retired my online quilt pattern shop December 31, 2019 but I still receive quite a few requests for retired patterns.I decided the best way to address that was to have those interested in a retired pattern make a small donation to a local-to-you non-profit of your choice. Email your receipt and I’ll be happy to send the pattern. Please, only one pattern per receipt.

If you’re unsure if a pattern is FREE (I have loads of those, check out the main menu on sewhooked.com), or RETIRED, just drop me an email or comment and I’ll let you know.

TTMT #554 – Hindsight

1 Reply

In which I have a surprise, talk about some charitable projects, and share my 2019 finishes!

I’d also like to clarify that I am not retiring from the internet or from TTMT OR from Fandom in Stitches. I’ve had lots of questions about that since announcing the closing of the Sewhooked shop. The shop is closed, but I’m not going anywhere! Sewhooked.com will continue to exist, but instead of pursuing quilting as a business, I am now doing it just for charity and for fun! This doesn’t mean there will never be a new design from me, there just won’t be any new ones for sale. If you have any questions, please do ask!

TRIGGER WARNING FOR DISCUSSION ABOUT STALKING & HARRASSMENT.

If you’d like to skip that part of the video, stop at the black screen at 3:47 and skip to the next black screen at 6:58.

If you are being harassed, stalked, or threatened, please call your local law enforcement or a crisis center.

Please know that we are taking this, very, very seriously. We really appreciate all of your love and support.

Stay safe, my friends.

The beginning and the end of this video are a regular TTMT. I will not allow the negative actions of a single person to stop me from living my life.

I’d especially like to apologize to Jeanie, who sent me an amazing care package, which I talk about at the beginning of this video. I considered making a non-TTMT video this week, but the fact of the matter is that THIS IS MY LIFE. Talk to Me Tuesday is my family and I want to talk to you all about things both good and bad. I’m smiling in thumbnail because THAT IS WHO I AM. ♥

EVERY quilt pattern in the Sewhooked Shop is 25% off between now and December 21, 2019. No coupon needed, the discount has already been applied.

There’s a weird hum in the middle part of the video. I’m super sorry about that, I have no idea what happened there! Same room, same camera, different day!

Hello, my friends!

I’m delighted to share that a new pattern by yours truly just hit Fandom in Stitches for the tail end of the Rankin Bass Holiday Favorites Quilt Along.

Big thanks to my quilting friends Jewells and Amber for helping me test this massive Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reinder title block!

The pattern as shown is 20″. I’ve also included a 10″ version, as well as templates for applique or hand embroidery.

Get the pattern here.

See the post on Fandom in Stitches.

I had a lot of fun creating this big ole block and will share more next week on Talk to Me Tuesday!

This and all of my fandom patterns are free for your personal and non-profit use only. Thank you for understanding.

There are LOTS MORE amazing patterns by a variety of talented Fandom in Stitches designers, so if you’re hankering for a Rankin/Bass Holiday Quilt, or even a fun cushion or block for a tote bag, go check it out!

Looking for winter patterns that are not fandom-themed? I’ve also got oodles of Holiday patterns, both free and for sale. Check out my Etsy Shop for my Sunbonnet Sue inspired Christmas blocks.
