My Happy Place Sew Along - The BIG Finish!!!

"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...

Along with several Bee Backgrounds:)

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

 "BEE PREPARED"

 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

CLICK HERE

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 ...

CLICK HERE

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!

CLICK HERE

 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!!
