Now, that’s what I call fun!
The owls are fussy cut from the What A Hoot line of fabric. ❤ ❤ ❤ I’m probably give the little guy floating in the door a little branch when I quilt it. Flying with your wings down is just too exhausting!
I used the alternative piece and instructions included with A Little Haunted. Pieced in ~ 3 hours. So. Much. Fun!

Tree Trimming is my newest project pattern, hot off the presses earlier this week (and I do mean hot…our a/c has been out for over two weeks!).
With just 1/2 a yard background fabric and scraps of greens, reds, blues, yellows, pinks and purples or a charm pack or even fat eighths in the colors of your choice, you can put together this sweet wall hanging that combines tradition with whimsy.
Perfect flying geese are easy peasy with pre-cutting instructions and paper piecing. The tree itself can be evocative of winter, Christmas, or any other time of year depending on your fabric choices. How about a version all in batiks? Primary colors? So many options!
Tree Trimming is now available in the Sewhooked Shop for just $8 as an instant PDF download with PayPal payment – completely secure shopping through E-junkie!
I will be teaching a class using Tree Trimming in November at the Honey Bee Quilt Store in Austin, Texas. Click here to register online.

The Floating Mariner, by Jennifer Ofenstein (hey, that’s me!)
It’s always fun for a quilt designer to play with a traditional block. I really enjoy stars and Mariner’s Compass is an all-time favorite for it’s striking geometric design.
A number of students in a class I taught earlier this year urged me to add a Mariner’s Compass to my class rotation. I loved the idea and decided that if I was going to include a Mariner’s Compass, I had to go all the way and create my own version to share with my students!
When I started drafting my pattern, I was unsure what direction I wanted to take with such a traditional block. After some trial and error, the Floating Mariner emerged. I love how the smaller stars echo the center motif. Taken singly, the block is a stunning 16″ wall-hanging. Combined with more Floating Mariners, a stunning quilt layout emerges.
Detail of Floating Mariner, with echo quilting…my favorite!
Use it as a single block for a wall hanging, or make multiple blocks for a breathtaking quilt!
The Floating Mariner is now available in the Sewhooked Shop for just $6 as an instant PDF download with PayPal payment – completely secure shopping through E-junkie!
