Today I want to focus on My Happy Place row. This theme was a challenge for me... I guess I don't think much about where "my Happy Place" is or what it is :) But everyone who knows me knows that I love Antiques so it made perfect sense to use that as the theme for my row. My favorite antiques are quarter-sawn oak and walnut furniture as well as depression glass, ironstone china, Ruby Red glassware, blue canning jars and of course, antique quilts!
I credit my love of antiques to my father, who was always refinishing antique furniture, and an amazing lady named Bernice, who was a dear family friend. I loved going to her house because she had more antique furniture than anyone else I knew!
So without any further adieu - here's my row!
First of all - huge thanks to Northcott Fabrics for graciously providing the fabrics to make this quilt. I used fabrics from their Artisan Spirit collection.
And huge thanks to The Warm Company for supplying me with their Warm 80/20 batting and Steam-A-Seam 2 Fusible Web.
I pieced the partial Dresden blade and Wedding Ring arc and then use raw edge fusible applique to attach then as well as the letters to the background fabric. Each piece was secured using matching thread and a machine-blanket stitch. The pattern is available for FREE until October 11, 2018 in my Craftsy store. After that, the price will increase to $5.00.
And what's a blog post without a giveaway or two or three!
From Moda - 2 Moda Collector Tote Bags valued at $15.00 each. Shipping is the responsibility of the winner.
And from Masterpiece Quilting (that's ME!) - 3 copies of my new book The Simple Sampler valued at $17.98 each. I will pay shipping - international too! In case you aren't one of the lucky winners, you can purchase a copy on Amazon.
And from Electric Quilt - Electric Quilt Version 8, a $239.95 value! The shipping will be a Coupon Code Via Email.
Thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog. Be sure to visit the other bloggers participating in the My Happy Place Row Along. I've seen previews of many of the rows and they are simply beautiful!

Giveaways offered by sponsors are assigned to the various bloggers for their featured day.
There are no prior announcements on who is doing which sponsor except to the sponsor themselves.
You'll have to visit the blog or the featured blog to enter the giveaways.
Not all giveaways can be entered at Seams To Be Sew.
I will start announcing winners on September 11, 2018, and finish announcing winners on October 10, 2018.
In most cases, the blog where you won at also will announce their
winners.
You must give a valid email address when you enter the giveaways, any email returned to me, loses the ability to win automatically.
With the exception of Show and Tell Day, all giveaways run for approximately one week.
You are given 3 days to answer the email, if you do not answer within 3 days a new winner will be drawn. Check those spam/junk mail folders, you may miss that winning email if you don't do so because there are no exceptions to this rule.
If you are notified that you are a winner, in most cases, you will need to provide your name, address, city, state, zip code, country, telephone number, and email address.
In some cases, you will be asked to comment on the blog to enter the giveaway... do the right thing and thank them for the time it took to create the pattern, thank them for the pattern and...
Thank the sponsor by buying their products for the giveaways. This helps them continue to offer great prizes for these types of events. You can also comment on their social media pages. Even if you don't win, letting them know you love their products is a huge incentive and they really do love hearing from you.

Odds of Winning a prize are based on a total number of rafflecopter entries during each week and in total for all giveaways.
This giveaway is void where prohibited by law.
Participating bloggers may enter any of the giveaways.
The word giveaways in the rules and guidelines are also known as sweepstakes.
Most of the giveaways are international shipping this year
in some cases, you will be asked to pay for shipping your giveaways.
I am not rich and I do not ask sponsors for money, they provide prizes only.
If they shipped the prize to me, you will be asked to pay for shipping.
All giveaways will be shipped that are in my home within 48 hours of my having heard from you.
An invoice will be sent to you via Paypal, and shipping will take place via Paypal, so your Paypal email will be needed to send the invoice. You will receive a tracking number except for overseas shipments. All shipping will either be first class which averages out at 2.77 to 4.00 up to 13 ounces. Paypal fees are added to that amount to cover that fee. All fabric bundles from Michael Miller, Hoffman, and Moda will be shipped via Priority Mail to protect the fabric itself.
Please note, every effort is made to protect the prizes. They go into a plastic bin when I receive them, and it is covered by an air tight cover. I have a dog in my home and I have a smoker in my home, so I do everything possible to protect the prizes.
Most companies are very good about getting prizes off to customers quickly also, but some companies are overseas, so please allow all sponsors a 2-week time period before you report to me that you still haven't received your prize. When the company is overseas, it can take 6 weeks to 90 days for an item to also arrive.
Whether or not you read the above, the rules for giveaways are in place to protect everyone. I do not want to hear you didn't read them, they will be posted on my blog daily during each featured day. There is no excuse for not reading them.

Lovely row! I was never an antique collector but my husband was and we use to spend Saturdays looking from one shop to another. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty row. Anything with a Dresden! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour choice of blocks perfectly matches the "antique" feel. So nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt blocks that you included. I'm not much for antiques (my parents were big antiquers and I got burned out being dragged to places as a kid) but I love the idea of using this row and swapping in the word "quilts"! Thanks for a beautiful row!
ReplyDeleteAntique shop is a WONDERFUL happy place. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love your row! I grew up with antiques, my dad also refinished antique furniture and had a "booth" in an antique store. He has passed on but most of my siblings carry on with our love of antiques. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat idea! I love your row.
ReplyDeleteI adore your gorgeous row :-) Thank you
ReplyDeleteCute row! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it says "Antiques", the partial quilt blocks make me think of antique quilts. And that is a VERY happy place for me, too. Thank you for a lovely row.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your row.
ReplyDeleteThis row is really beautiful and would look lovely hanging over any piece of antique furniture. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy looking at antiques. I have a few from my grandparents.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool and fun way to show off your love of antiques! My father always stopped at antique shops when I was a kid and how we all hated looking at that old stuff! Now, I really enjoy wandering through those shops and look for pieces that are reminiscent of my grandparents' things.
ReplyDeleteThe colors in your row are great!
