"The BIG Finish"
Welcome to the Big Finish of the
"MY HAPPY PLACE"
Sew Along!
Sew many of you have joined
me here each week
while I did every tutorial
on the blocks for the quilt.
Thank you sew much!!
I posted each Monday
right here on my blog
and you can view my tutorials
any time that
is convenient for you
because they will remain here
on my blog!
Scroll down to the very bottom
of this post and you will find
photos and the link to
each and every tutorial
that I did for this sew along.
For this sew along...
We made the
My Happy Place Quilt
74" x 88"
The quilt was made with my newest fabric
collection at the time called STITCH...
If you are just joining us
and need a fabric kit...
just do a quick google search
to find out which quilt shops
may have one left for you.
Simply type in
"My Happy Place Quilt Kit"
to find one!
As all of my
Sew Simple Shapes Sew Alongs go...
We are used the shapes
for the pattern of this quilt
and of course the Sew Along Guide and my tutorials each week.
The set of shapes that we
used for this quilt are called
MY HAPPY PLACE
I have 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.
The Sew Along Guide tells you
many many important things about the
sew along such as what sizes
to cut each of the fabrics
in your kit and what blocks
that they go in etc.
After your blocks are all completed
the guide shows you how the quilt
is sewn together...
that diagram is on page 12.
In your guide of course is all of the
cutting requirements for the
sashing (cayenne cross stitch print)
and borders and everything that you need
to cut for finishing the quilt!
I'm so happy that my quilt
is all quilted and bound!
If you want to know how I
bind my quilts and how I add my
Vintage Trim into the binding ...
to go to my tutorial that I did
here on my blog many years ago.
It's the exact same way that I
still do it and I hope
that you find it helpful:)
As promised...
I can't wait to "un-roll" my quilt
and show you a whole bunch
of close up pictures.
Here we go!!!
I hope all of these close ups
will help you get an idea of
how your quilt will look when finished
and also how you want your quilt quilted:)
My friend Juli Stubbs quilted mine
and she NEVER disappoints!
By now Juli knows what kind of quilting
that I love and so I told her to
"just go for it"
and I'm completely thrilled.
Thank you so much Juli ❤️
And thank you so much to
all of you for sewing along
and for making your
"My Happy Place Quilt"
along with me!
I have loved sewing with you
and sewing with my
STITCH fabric collection.
My next sew along will be
coming up in January 2022
and we will be using my
next fabric collection called
COOK BOOK
And I'm happy to say that
it's just starting to arrive
in quilt shops now...
!!!YaY!!!
We will be making this quilt
that I designed for the sew along
and my new set of
Sew Simple Shapes...
both are called
"CHICKEN SALAD"
and I hope you will join us!
to watch my fall quilt market video
and where I show and tell
you all about it.
I even show you two of the
blocks that I already made.
I hope to see you there
for more quilty fun!!
