TTMT #823 – Putting the Pieces Together (Crafty Show & Tell)

Leave a reply

It’s been a super busy week full of real-life stuff, but I still have some things to share! Most importantly, I’ve finished the doll body updates for my current Raggedy project! Clothes are cut out and ready to make. I also share progress for an unexpected project that landed with a crash!

I have drafted my finished Sting Bookcase Block into a cleaner, simpler pattern and I am looking for a pattern tester who can test by the end of March or early April. The design is 10″ x 20″ paper pieced (plus seam allowance). If you might be interested, please drop me an email at my Fandom in Stitches account – ofenjen@fandominstitches.com.

This is a free pattern that will be shared on fandominstitches.com & sewhooked.com. While I can’t offer compensation, testers will receive acknowledgment on my personal website, Fandom, and social media when the pattern is posted. Thanks!

TTMT #822 – Hair Care (Crafty Show & Tell)

Leave a reply

I took a break from embroidery this week to wait for my hubs to choose more titles for the bookcase blocks. In the meantime, I have worked on Raggedy hair, made a thread organizer for my machine embroidery projects, and done some self care!

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

I’m delighted to share my last quilt block design for the 2024-2025 TTMT BOM. Our event finishes up in April and we’ll have lots of inspiration to complete your quilt at that time!

Designed with my own TTMT quilt in mind, the Rainbow Bear Paw is exactly what it sounds like. This block brought me so much joy to create. I hope you like it, too!

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. Link goes to a Google Doc that you can save or print. ♥

TTMT #821 – TTMT Blocks & Tolkien Row! (Quilty Show & Tell)

4 Replies

I’m still chug chug chugging away at the titles for my hub’s bookcase block and am really pleased with progress so far. March 1 was our next to last post for the TTMT BOM! You can find those pattern links below.

The flower vine on the Aragorn & Arwen book is from an OESD Heirloom Legacy set (plants & birds), design DC067_48. It’s from an older CD set and I could not locate it on their website.

I have been using  Embrilliance  Stitch Artist 1 to create my book titles and draw images for this quilt. Several people have asked what I’ve used to “turn” my images into embroidery, and the simplest answer is that I draw them myself in Stitch Artist 1. They are not “digitized” but drawn by me specifically as embroidery images.

TTMT 806 – Heirloom Applique (quilty show & tell)

Leave a reply

Today I share a surprise finished quilt. It was even a surprise to me! My energy and inspiration have been loooow, but I always feel better when I am working on something, so here we are!

There are no patterns for Heirloom Applique. The original blocks were made by my great-aunt, passed to my grandmother, and then to my aunt, who gave them to me. I replicated several of the designs using my embroidery software to make machine applique, adding the cats from a drawing by my eldest kiddo. The final design was me trying to make it all work together. I hope you enjoy it!

Interested in my process? I have a playlist of all the videos that includes blocks to quilt!

I forgot to mention my newly re-released free pattern, Turkey Talk!
