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
 post which details all of the supplies
 for the sew along and how it works.
I have also given the link there 
for the free PDF Download 
of the Sew Along Guide

to read that post.


As per the sew along guide 
cutting instructions...hopefully
 you were able to have 
everything for this weeks block 
 all cut and ready to go.
The tutorial for this week
is a video tutorial on my 
YouTube channel where you can 
watch me sew the block.
to watch my video tutorial.



For the Sewing Machine Block 
you will need:
1 - L11
1 - L12
1 - L18
1 - L19
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!
