FREE PATTERNS TODAY! GIVE-AWAYS TODAY!

Welcome to the 3rd Annual Row Along hosted by Seams to Be Sew.  A huge Thank You to Marian Penn for organizing this event. Also, thanks to our sponsors, Northcott Fabrics  and Calibre Art . Our sponsors are wonderful and we owe them a HEAP of gratitude. Read to the end of this post to find information about the Give-Aways from Northcott and Calibre.

This is your chance to download tons of free row patterns.  I am just 1 of many pattern designers involved in this row-along. This year’s row-along will last for 6 weeks, ending with a “Show and Tell” day Tuesday, October 10. Starting September 5, every Tuesday and Thursday 5 (some days 4) different pattern designers will be offering a FREE row pattern. All rows will measure 30 1/2″ long, so all will consistently fit together into the quilt of your choosing.

Each row is designed with a specific Christmas carol in mind. My row was inspired by “Jolly Old St. Nick”.  I love to paper piece images of Santa, and this is the perfect song. The pattern is paper pieced and is very easy to assemble. If you are new to paper piecing, I suggest you watch my free tutorial on sewing a Simple Paper Pieced Block, found on my “Tutorials” page.

Here are photos of the 4 blocks that make up my row.  Remember, when paper piecing, your finished block always turns out the opposite of the original pattern.

The pattern explains how to tie a “knot nose” using a scrap of muslin. So cute! My finished row shows the “Jolly Old St. Nick” row finished as a table runner with an inner and outer border. Also, consider using just the “HO HO” block for a pillow or potholder!

  79. I just love this pattern! Thank you so much. I would like to know how you embedded the PDF to be downloaded from your blog, that is really handy. Also, love the Dogs Only pattern, you are good at what you do!

    ~Brandy

    1. Brandy, I see you are using blogspot. I use WordPress, so my downloading process may be different than yours. On WordPress, there is an “insert download here” option available at the top of each post. During editing, you just place your cursor in the post where ever you want the download to appear and press that download option. Then it will direct you to find the file you want to insert. That simple…similar to when you insert a “link” into your post. Good luck!

  88. Thanks so much for all the hard work that you put into the free pattern and offering it to all. I know how much work goes into creating a pattern, so it is very much appreciated. I would love to win the Purple Daisy Quilt give away as I have decided to really work on quilting my own quilts. It is very generous of all the sponsors who are providing the give-aways. It’s really amazing how giving the quilting community is and this event is certainly proof of that!
    Can’t wait to see who will win, but I’ve got my fingers crossed!
    Thanks again for everything.

  91. Your Santa Row pattern is cute! I’m still a beginner when it comes to paper piecing so knowing you have a video is super! Your dogs are wonderful!

    Thank you for sharing and Thank you to all the Awesome Sponsors!

  93. Oh my – I just found this post today … now I’ll be going back in time to check out previous posts 😀 I’ve subscribed to your blog via a blogreader (I think I did, anyways) so now I won’t miss anything exciting 🙂

  95. You are so very talented – great contributions to our quilt community! Love those doggies! Beth in AL
