My Happy Place Sew Along - Week Three!!

"SEWING MACHINE"

Welcome to week three of the 

"MY HAPPY PLACE"

Sew Along!

Join me here each week 

when I will be doing tutorials

 on the blocks for the quilt.

 I will be posting each Monday 

right here on my blog 

and you can follow my tutorials 

any time during the week that 

 is convenient for you.

For this sew along...

We are making the 

My Happy Place Quilt

74" x 88"

I've been sew excited to begin...

This is going to be fun!!

The quilt is made with my newest fabric

 collection called STITCH...

Along with several Bee Backgrounds:)

If you are just joining us and you 

are looking for a kit...

simply do a quick google search of 

"My Happy Place Quilt Kit" 

and I'm thinking that you will easily 

be able to find quilt shops 

that still have a kit available:) 

As all of my 

Sew Simple Shapes Sew Alongs go...

 The pattern for this quilt are

these three things:   

1. Sew Simple Shapes 

set and of course the 

2. Sew Along Guide 

and finally my weekly 

3. Tutorials 

that I do for you each and 

every week during the sew along.

The set of shapes that we are

 using for this quilt are called

MY HAPPY PLACE

I have already posted the

 "BEE PREPARED"

 post which details all of the supplies

 for the sew along and how it works.

 all cut and ready to go.

For the Sewing Machine Block 

you will need:

1 - L11

1 - L12

1 - L20

You will need to 

have all of your 

background fabric and prints 

for piecing the block cut 

and of course all of that cutting is 

in the sew along guide:)

After I showed you how I 

pieced the sewing machine 

I want ahead and pulled everything 

next to my machine to sew the two diamond 

sew simple shapes and the Tomato Pincushion 

sew simple shapes that sits on the machine:)

Ready to glue baste onto the sewing machine!!

"SEWING MACHINE BLOCK"

should measure 

20 1/2" x 26 1/2" UNFINISHED

and will measure 

20" x 26" finished

after it's sewn into the quilt.

All of the blocks that we have

 made so far are on my design wall

 and ready for appliqué!

P.S. I forgot to say that 

we will be doing the 

Fat Quarters Block 

in one of the up-coming weeks

 of this sew along...

I wasn't able to fit it in this week!

But now worries...

it's an easy peasy block

and we will get to it:)

I love how they all look together:)

Remember that the patterns 

for the embroidery 

are in the sew along guide.

I hope that you have fun 

making your 

sewing machine block this week...

And I'll be right back here 

next Monday for week four 

when we will be doing the

 Ironing Block!
