Free Pattern Friday – Holiday House Revisit

Leave a reply

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.

TTMT #756 – This is the Way

Leave a reply

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! ♥

TTMT #753 – This Quilt Top Bites!

Leave a reply

Y’all, I finished my quilt top! I’m so pleased with the scrappy lavender and cannot wait to get it quilted! All patterns can be found on fandominstitches.com. I also ramble entirely too much about house stuff, but quilt machine reassembly is imminent and I am EXCITED.

The fabric I show was purchased at Hip Stitch. Their clearance sale ends November 22. Not sponsored, just a VERY supportive best friend. 😉

TTMT #752 – A Gift & Other Things

Leave a reply

Today I share a little bit of progress on my What We Do in the Shadows quilt (all patterns on fandominstitches.com) and a stand mixer cover I made for my eldest kiddo (pattern from sewcanshe.com).

Our downstair flooring update is in progress. I’ll try to remember to share a before and after next week. I’m already in love! Our old floor was painted concrete. Anywhere we had a rug was especially beaten up!

I forgot to share in my video that I did manage to pull together a Halloween costume last week! My younger kid and I went to Savers and I dug through the formal dresses until I found a red dress that was a little too big. I added some accessories from Savers and a black jacket out of my own closet. All I was missing was vampire fangs! Oh, and I am absolutely wearing my red sneakers under that dress. 😉

Easy DIY Halloween Cauldron

Leave a reply

This is a super simple DIY Halloween Cauldron we made in 2021. This is one of my all-time favorite Halloween decorations! I made a very short video to show how it’s done. Enjoy!

  • Large Plastic Cauldron bought years ago, I think at Party City
  • Color Change Halloween Lights (affiliate link)
  • Lighted Mister with auto shut off (affiliate link)
  • Cake cover/bowl from Dollar Tree, holes closed with hot glue, and painted black. This one took some trial and error until I found something that fit correctly. You want whatever you use to hang just inside the cauldron so the mister is up high.
