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.
Ridwell for fabric and other unusual recycling.
Stocking tutorial + free pattern from Amy Smart. (I used her instructions but not the pattern.)

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!

This week I’m delighted to share my finished Christmas quilt based on Running Doe Quilts’ May Flowers. I dubbed mine “Snow Flowers” and it is mine, all mine!
I also share another fabric Christmas tree, a Danish Woven Heart, and a new festive tee for me! Have a lovely rest of your week. ♥

Welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!
As a thank you to my wonderful Ko-Fi supporters, I wanted to share some extra free content in December.
Holiday House was first shared as part of a blog hop back in 2011. I updated the pattern in 2017, adding a 10″ version for your piecing pleasure. I’m sharing it again here today because I have lots of new quilting friends here on Sewhooked and I wanted to make sure you knew about this sweet block.

This week, I share a fun fabric Christmas tree that I made for my husband’s white elephant exchange at work and the beginning of a new Christmas quilt. Thank you to my awesome Ko-Fi supporters, and everyone who comments, subscribes, and likes! You’ve given me an awesome YouTube year! ♥

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!
