Free Pattern Friday – Spread the Love!

Leave a reply

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:

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 #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. 😉
