Huzzah!

The Free Quilt Pattern page is finally, finally updated!

It took me all day to make it behave and do just what I wanted, including adding spiffy navigation on the page itself. Please take a few minutes to check it out…I’d love to hear your feedback!

The Free Quilt Pattern page now includes:

Free Patterns by myself and Guest Designers
Difficulty Ratings
Bigger Pictures
A menu at the top of the page
“Top of Page” links between each section
Blog links for individual blocks (in progress!)
Links to my free patterns on other sites
Images and Patterns automatically open in a new page

Shop Sewhooked and help keep the free patterns free!

Add your Sewhooked-related photos (that includes my patterns posted to Fandom In Stitches!) to my flickr group and you might be featured in a future post!

Have a wonderful afternoon!

Look for changes to be coming soon to the Free Pattern page! As I update old favorite patterns and continue to add new ones, I’m working to make the page easier for you to navigate and easier for me to update. Included on the free pattern page, you will also find great free patterns that other designers have allowed me to share with you as well as my free patterns available on other websites!

If you like my free patterns, please consider supporting my site by visiting my Craftsy Pattern Shop where you will find block patterns, project patterns and pattern sets, all designed by me!

Lily Update

5 Replies

Remember this face?

Lily is the kitten rescued by my sister and her husband in late November. She’d been shot in the leg and needed emergency surgery to save her life. With the help of many, many generous online friends, we were able to cover all of Lily’s expenses, including a later emergency to her remaining front leg also caused by the gunshot.

She’s got a pretty funky fur-cut from being shaved for her two surgeries (first, a leg amputation, later, spaying) and from the infection she had on her remaining front leg but she’s healing up nicely and is now over 7 pounds. She was just 4 pounds when she was first rescued.

She goes up and down the stairs with no problems at all, and climbs up and down furniture and is a fan of 2 a.m. snuggle time!

Yeah, I see you!

Talk to the paw!

Thank you all again for helping to save Lily, we could not have done it without you!

She’s come a long way from this little kitten with the shattered front leg:

Thank you again to everyone that helped this sweet cat. Lily’s got a new life, a new home and a second chance, all thanks to you!

Fat Quarterly Is Here!

Braided Kaleidoscope

In recent weeks, I’ve been dubbed Teasing McTeaser by a good friend of mine.

You see, I keep dropping hints in my blog and on Talk To Me Tuesday (TTMT for short) that I have would have something super awesome to share soon.

Finally, today, NOW, I get to share one of those awesome things! Yes, I said one…there will be more surprises in the weeks (and months!) to come!

Braided Kaleidoscope

I designed a brand new 12″ paper pieced block for Fat Quarterly, a fantastic Ezine for quilters!

Issue 8 – Paper, is where you will find Braided Kaleidoscope (pg 29 & 30). Paper Piecing, English Paper Piecing and Freezer Paper all make an appearance and all the projects are just fantastic!

Subscribers can access their issue today, and it will be available for sale to non-subscribers on Monday. You can see the full (and very talented!) list of contributors right here.

Last, but definitely NOT least, I have super-duper-awesome news about STITCHED! All workshops will now be available for a full year. That’s right, six more months of workshop awesomeness, giveaways and access to fabulous STITCHED instructors, including yours truly! If you’ve been hesitant to sign up for STITCHED, don’t be, because it’s a fantastically fun site full of wonderful workshops and community!

Have a very, very happy Friday!
