Sorry, no kitty cameos today. I have been a bit too incapacitated to follow cats around the house! 😉
April is my birthday month and you’re invited to help me celebrate by participating in the 5th Annual Fat Quarter Lotto!
It’s super easy – send up to four fat quarters & I’ll draw a winner (or winners) “live” on Talk to Me Tuesday on April 30, 2019. There will be 1 winner per 50 fat quarters. Last year we had two winners with 50 fat quarters each and one winner with 25 fat quarters!
Watch last year’s live drawing!
Want an extra entry? Include orphan blocks for The Linus Connection! The Linus Connection is an Austin, TX-based blanket making charity. I use orphan quilt blocks to make quilts to donate. I also share orphan blocks with fellow volunteers to make quilts. Any orphan quilt blocks collected will be turned into quilts for kids in crisis in Central Texas. This collection is personally done by me, Jennifer Ofenstein, and is not sponsored or endorsed by The Linus Connection.
The Sewhooked Fat Quarter Lotto is not a sponsored event and I am not eligible to win. This is just my way to say Thank You for another fun year of sharing! There is no purchase necessary and no obligation to play. I will pay for all return postage.
All entries must be received by April 29, 2019.

This was one of my favorite quilts I’ve made in some time. It’s made me think a lot about how I’d like to spend my sewing energy in the future. What has been one of your favorite projects?

66” x 82” pieced (plus binding)
Blocks are 14” (14 1/2” with seam allowance)
Clover All Over was designed to use a custom jelly roll that my friends over at Talk To Me Tuesday and I created for our 2019 swap. We each shared 2 1/2” fabric strips we loved, and then sorted them all into new jelly rolls for each of us to share!
☘ Printable copy of CLOVER ALL OVER ☘
Watch my video about this quilt top!
I used the fabric received from my jelly roll swap, plus a variety of fabrics pulled from my stash for backgrounds.
My fabric, cut and ready to go!
These blocks go together VERY quickly. I sorted and chain pieced everything to make it go faster!
☘ Printable copy of CLOVER ALL OVER ☘
Clover All Over is a super simple quilt to make. It requires one block that is repeated, sashing, and cornerstones. Make it solid or make it scrappy! An optional coloring sheet can be found on the last page of the printable instructions.
These instructions only use a few colors for simplicity in explanation. Use the fabrics that speak to you!
Adapt as needed for your own use.
Note: For my own version of this quilt, I used a jelly roll for the petals, block centers, and cornerstones. Each 2 1/2” strip should make enough cut pieces for two petals, plus four 2 1/2” squares.
Cutting Instructions for ONE BLOCK

Hello, dear friends!
I’m happy to share that I’ve updated one of my most popular patterns, L’amour sous la Tour Eiffel! I’ve had a number of requests to add fabric amounts and to color this pattern. For your sewing convenience, both of those things are now done! I have also tweaked the pattern to make it a bit more symmetrical.
Originally inspired by my daughter’s international travels, L’amour sous la Tour Eiffel is available on Etsy for $2.95.
Have you already purchased this pattern? Download the update for free right from Etsy! If you bought this pattern on Craftsy, email your receipt (or a screencap of it in your Craftsy library) and I will happily send this updated version right to your inbox! As a reminder, my patterns are no longer be available on Craftsy. Here’s why.
One keen quilter asked for a sample rainbow quilt inspired by L’amour sous la Tour Eiffel! How fun is that? You could go much bigger if you desired (see link below!). This simple version includes multiple colors of the Eiffel Tower with 2″ sashing and cornerstones.
Are there other patterns you’d like to see updated or would like to see a quilt mock-up for? Let me know!
FYI – The Sewhooked Suggestion Box is temporarily closed as I work my way through my inventory of patterns to update links and remove Craftsy badges.
A quick reminder: my Holiday and Winter themed patterns are on sale through December 31. You can find those in my Etsy Pattern shop. Want some holiday freebies? I have those, too!
Talk to you again soon!

If you’ve been around awhile, you may remember the Smiling Santa Gift Bag tutorial I shared some time ago right here on Sewhooked.
Years ago, I would make these sweet felt gift bags for the kiddos in my life. Santa was one of my favorites, but I also made quite a others, too!
Here’s a photo from WAY BACK in 2000. Whew, thank goodness that Millineum thing turned out okay. 😉
For this design, I’ve taken my hand-drawn Rudolph templates, played with them in EQ8, and created a 10″ pattern to share.
Please be gentle with me. Designing applique using the software is brand new to me.
Make a quilt block, or use some felt and the Smiling Santa tutorial to make your own Rudolph bag! Want a printable Gift Bag tutorial? Get it here.
>>>Download or Print Young Rudolph to Applique<<<
Like this pattern? Let me know and I might create more fun things for you to applique. 🙂
