Here we go! I’m excited to share that I have another fun block pattern coming out in the Winter 2015 issues of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks!

31 Days of Halloween on sewhooked.com

I promised in October that I’d give away a free prize to one person who shared photos with my flickr group as part of the 31 Days of Halloween!

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 12, Fall 2015

Woozelmom (Linda) will receive a free copy of this issue of 100 Blocks. This is one of my designer copies, it hasn’t even hit newsstands! I’m really happy to get to share. 🙂

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone that shared photos in October!

EQ7 Seasons RAL - Spring Row by Jennifer Ofenstein

Here it is! My Spring row!

Spring is my favorite season. The winter blues are driven away, the trees begin to bud, spring babies are born and the earth begins to turn green again!

OR Download the PDF Via Craftsy!

PJ7 Pattern will be emailed upon request. Please contact sewhooked@gmail.com.

Hear me talk about my row and other projects I’m working on my video blog, Talk to Me Tuesday!
Visit the TTMT Community.

My idea was to celebrate my favorite season with baby chicks, fresh out of their eggs, pecking around the grass and flowers for something good to eat.

EQ7 Seasons Row Along: Spring Row by Jennifer Ofenstein Every pattern in my row is a 6″ (6 1/2″ unfinished) paper pieced block. Follow the instructions in the pattern to make this row, or mix and match to make your own fun row or other quilty project!

I’m absolutely loving the beautiful tonal white background fabric from Northcott! Anyone that visits regularly knows that I’m a bit of a Northcott junkie with Stonehenge being one of my all time favorite fabrics!

The entire row is paper pieced with optional embroidery or paint for the chicks’ eyes. I drew mine on using Tulip Fabric Markers. EQ7 Seasons Row Along: Spring Row by Jennifer Ofenstein

Small pieces freak you out? Try chain piecing them!
