Day At the Beach Quilt Row Pattern
[ News ][ October 2018 ]

Day at the Beach – My Happy Place Row Along

Day at the Beach

It’s finally my feature day for the My Happy Place Row Along.  I have been (not so) patiently waiting excitedly to show you what I have created for you.  I had a lot of ideas for what I wanted to do with this pattern.  There are so many places that make me happy.  When I first began I thought I would try to represent my garden, so when I chose my fabrics from Northcott Fabrics I chose ones that I thought would be good flower colors.  I love the Stonehenge Gradations Brights collection and both of my choices are from it.  I just love how rich and sparkly these are. These are 39302-45 and 39300-85.

       

When I received my fabric choices from Northcott Fabric who so generously provided each designer with fabric for this event, I felt that they fit better into another happy place of mine.  The blue reminded me of the ocean – so clear and reflective.  I had to change my pattern to the beach.  I have visited both coasts and the gulf and can spend hours just laying on the beach listening to the ocean.

I hunted through my fabric stash to find the perfect fabrics to complete my beach scene.  I had some cloud fabric from long ago and a sparkly sand color that I know is also from Northcott that fit in perfectly with the blue I was going to use for the ocean.  I used bits and pieces of bright, fun colors to fill in the chairs, umbrella, and sun.  I also found a jungle print that I could fussy cut the palm leaves out of.  These would look great out of any green fabrics that you have on hand as well.

I started by piecing together my background.  I could already imagine being on the beach and the sounds of the waves.  I then added in all the applique pieces to complete my scene.  A little hand stitching down the applique and my row was finished.  I am planning to machine quilt bubbles over the surf applique piece and did not hand applique it down.  I will compete this portion when I add my row to other row patterns in the My Happy Place Row Along.

Please take the time to read it.

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.

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.

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.
