Free Pattern Friday: Just the Books!

free-pattern-friday

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

I shared on Tuesday that the multi-fandom/history bookcase quilt top I’ve been working on for my husband is at last complete!

Today, I share new blocks made just for this quilt. These 6 simple paper pieced bookcase blocks are perfect for any bookcase quilt project. If you’re looking to make your own Fandom bookcase quilt, you can find a whole load of patterns on Fandom in Stitches. Look for “Bookcase Quilts” in the purple menu for a wide variety of options.

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. ♥

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

As I continue to work on the bookcase quilt for my husband, I’ve been sharing new designs here and on Fandom in Stitches, both free for your personal use.

Today I have Sting, Bilbo & Frodo’s sword featured in The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings.

This is a simplified version of the sword with space to add the optional item of your choice. I hope you enjoy! With special thanks to Carol J for testing this pattern.

Free Pattern Friday: Sherlock Holmes’ Churchwarden Pipe Bookcase Block

free-pattern-friday

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

As mentioned in recent videos, I’m working on a bookcase quilt for my husband. I’ve been sharing these new designs here and on Fandom in Stitches, both free for your personal use.

We both love Sherlock Holmes, so adding our favorite fictional detective to his quilt was a no-brainer!

Next up is Sherlock Holmes’ Churchwarden Pipe, inspired by my favorite Holmes portrayed by Jeremy Brett. This will be my last Holmes’ themed designed for now.

I hope you enjoy this pattern. I look forward to bringing you more new bookcase blocks as I design them!

Free Pattern Friday: Sherlock Holmes’ Persian Slipper Bookcase Block

free-pattern-friday

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

As mentioned in recent videos, I’m working on a bookcase quilt for my husband. I have already designed several new blocks that I’ll share here and on Fandom in Stitches as they are ready. 

We both love Sherlock Holmes, so adding our favorite fictional detective to his quilt was a no-brainer!

Next up is Sherlock Holmes’ Persian Slipper. This is inspired by one of our favorite quotes from the short stories:

“But with me there is a limit, and when I find a man who keeps his cigars in the coal-scuttle, his tobacco in the toe end of a Persian slipper, and his unanswered correspondence transfixed by a jack-knife into the very centre of his wooden mantelpiece, then I begin to give myself virtuous airs.” 

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,

The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual

I hope you enjoy this pattern. I look forward to bringing you more new bookcase blocks as I design them!

TTMT #669 – One Block!

In which I share the single YoD block I finished since I last talked to you and talk a tiny bit about the Kingdom Hearts quilt delivery!

The machine embroidery sets I used in this block are all listed below. As I mention in the video, I have quite a collection of Ancient Egyptian-themed machine embroidery designs.
