Hello, my friends, and welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!

I’m delighted to share my last quilt block design for the 2024-2025 TTMT BOM. Our event finishes up in April and we’ll have lots of inspiration to complete your quilt at that time!

Designed with my own TTMT quilt in mind, the Rainbow Bear Paw is exactly what it sounds like. This block brought me so much joy to create. I hope you like it, too!

If you use any of my free patterns, I’d love to see what you do with them! Leave a link in the comments or tag me @sewhookedjen on IG.

The following patterns are designed by me, Jennifer Ofenstein, and are free for your personal use. Link goes to a Google Doc that you can save or print. ♥

Hello, friends! I’m back at it this week with some progress on the bookcase quilt, including a quilty plan, new blocks, and some fun practice in Embrilliance Stitch Artist 1. I even took a little time to make something for myself. ♥

Free Pattern Friday: TTMT BOM for January 2025!

Leave a reply
free-pattern-friday

Hello, my friends, and welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!

Today I’m delighted to share my most recent contribution to the TTMT BOM. This is a revisit of two old favorites, one never before shared here on my website.

Originally used for a 2018 Block Swap, the Log Cabin below is a classic. I don’t claim the creation of this block, but I did write the instructions and share a paper pieced version for those who aren’t big fans of traditional piecing. The quilt I made from those original swap blocks is one of my great treasures!

A Sewhooked staple for well over a decade, Perfect Nine Patch Wonky Stars is one of my most used patterns.

If you use any of my free patterns, I’d love to see what you do with them! Leave a link in the comments or tag me @sewhookedjen on IG.

The following patterns are designed by me, Jennifer Ofenstein, and are free for your personal use. Links go to Google Docs that you can save or print. ♥

TTMT 806 – Heirloom Applique (quilty show & tell)

Leave a reply

Today I share a surprise finished quilt. It was even a surprise to me! My energy and inspiration have been loooow, but I always feel better when I am working on something, so here we are!

There are no patterns for Heirloom Applique. The original blocks were made by my great-aunt, passed to my grandmother, and then to my aunt, who gave them to me. I replicated several of the designs using my embroidery software to make machine applique, adding the cats from a drawing by my eldest kiddo. The final design was me trying to make it all work together. I hope you enjoy it!

Interested in my process? I have a playlist of all the videos that includes blocks to quilt!

I forgot to mention my newly re-released free pattern, Turkey Talk!

Free Pattern Friday: Turkey Talk!

Leave a reply
free-pattern-friday

Hello, my friends, and welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!

This week, I’m sharing an oldie! Turkey Talk was designed in 2011 and sold in a local quilt shop. It was later available for sale online and has been retired since 2019 when I closed my online shop.

This simple and cute pattern combines paper piecing, traditional piecing, and hand embroidery for a fun autumnal design. You could also use machine embroidery for the text.

The finished quilt hangs on my front door every year at this time. I’d love to see it hanging on yours!
