Hello friends! My video will be a little bit late today as I wait for a super secret detail to fall into place. It’ll be worth the wait, I promise!

Free Pattern Friday: Jack’s Lanterns & Pumpkin Border!
Hello, my friends, and welcome back to Free Pattern Friday!
October is one of my favorite months, and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! I’ve designed a lot of Halloween-inspired projects over the years, many of them for free.
Today I’m pulling a Halloween pattern out of my retired pattern archive to share with you for free! As a bonus, I finished up an idea I’ve had bouncing around for years: a 10″ pumpkin frame to use with any 6″ pattern, including Jack’s Lanterns!
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 799 October TTMT BOM
October is here and that means new TTMT BOM patterns! I’ve also been working on a slew of gifts, so this week’s video is a short one. Not to worry, I’ll be back soon with much more fun craftiness. One of my favorite videos I’ve ever made is coming up later this month!
TTMT BOM Month 6 (October) chosen by Jewells (Julia M), both patterns from Delaware Quilts.

TTMT From Greece!
A quick hello from Greece! I will talk much more about this amazing trip next week.
TTMT #795 – #ttmtbom Month 5
Today I’m coming to you from the past while I’m romping around the world with my favorite guy! I’m sharing my #ttmtbom blocks for September as well as some goodies I made for Jewells and her daughter.
Hat Pattern-ish!
The crochet hat is made with an H or I hook. For the adult hat I show here, chain ~38 (or as many as you need to reach nose to crown), turn, sc across, turn, ch 1, sc across in back loops only. Repeat until you reach the width you want, then turn, ch 1, slst in the back loops to close, gather the top, tie off, top with a pom pom if you like and you’re done!
- Quilter’s Cache
- Warm the Line
- Sew Can She Fabric Basket
- OESD Around the World Passport Holder
- Peace Forever Font
- Embroidery Editing Software
- Bird Feeders on Amazon (affiliate link) – Please note that there are LOTS of bird feeders with cameras out there, and even some that have a spot for the camera of your choice. What works for me may not work for you, so I won’t recommend a particular camera. If you’d like a setup like this, go for what you think would work best for you. Happy birding!

TTMT #794 – Surprise Charity Quilt Finish!
Join me this week as I share a surprise quilt finish! I’ve been trying to use my pre-trip jitters for good and managed to finish a quilt and several small projects. Most of the orphan blocks in this quilt came from Sarah in Houston with a couple from Kristel. It will be going to Project Linus Albuquerque, NM via my bff Jewells!

TTMT #793 – Thrifted Top Finish! (Quilty Show & Tell)
In this week’s show & tell, I’m delighted to share my finished thrifted quilt! I found the quilt top at Austin Creative Reuse a few weeks ago. The quilting is free motion and was a wild ride due to the hand piecing. I also share a couple of small finishes. Links below!
Hat Pattern-ish!
The crochet hat is made with an H or I hook. For the adult hat I show here, chain ~38 (or as many as you need to reach nose to crown), turn, sc across, turn, ch 1, sc across in back loops only. Repeat until you reach the width you want, then turn, ch 1, slst in the back loops to close, gather the top, tie off, top with a pom pom if you like and you’re done!
- This is the closest pattern I could find to this quilt. The blocks are essentially the same, but the quilt layout is a bit different. Granny Square Quilt from Robert Kaufman.

TTMT #792 – Of Magic Cats & Gaming Turtles
In between a lot of really un-fun adulting, I’ve been trying to squeeze in some happy projects. First up is a Halloween Quilt finish that I’ve now passed on to my quilt-loving eldest kiddo. I also completed a really fun gift for a good friend’s birthday.
(The sound in this video is a bit weird and I apologize for that. I was trying a new microphone setup and though my couple of tests sounded fine, this did NOT. I’d already given the quilt away when I realized and as I’m no voice-over expert, I decided to do my best to edit the audio and will go back to my regular set up next week.)
