My Happy Place Sew Along - Let's Begin!!
"TOMATO PINCUSHIONS"
Welcome to week one of the
"MY HAPPY PLACE"
Sew Along!
Join me here each week
when I will be doing tutorials
on the blocks for the quilt.
Of course because we are all sewing
from all around the world
we all have different time zones...
But I will be posting each Monday
right here on my blog
and you can follow my tutorials
any time each 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:)
I hope that you all have your
fabric kits by now...
and that we are all ready to begin
after the delay that we have experienced:)
We are also using the
My Happy Place
Sew Simple Shapes
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
you should have everything for your
Tomato Pincushion Blocks
all cut and ready to go!
As usual for week one in my
Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs
the first weeks tutorial is a video.
Because I have my very own brand new
I have posted the
Tomato Pincushion Block
Tutorial there.
to visit my channel and watch the
tutorial and I hope that you love it!
Leave me a comment there and let me know:)

I will be doing all of the
pieced blocks in the quilt
as a video tutorial there on my channel.
Here is a list of the
My Happy Place
Sew Simple Shapes
needed for the
Tomato Pincushion Blocks:
4 - L18
4 - L19
4 - L20
You will also need to cut
each background 8" x 8"
as it says in the guide:)
When I did my blocks for the quilt
I took a few photos so I thought I would
post them here for you even though
I have done the video:)
if you will be doing hand applique
or machine applique...
I did a video on my channel
where I demonstrate how I do both.
It may help you decide!
to watch it:)
"TOMATO PINCUSHION BLOCKS"
Make 4
Trim down to 6 1/2" square
before sewing them together
to go into your quilt:)
I hope you enjoy making your blocks
for this week
and that you enjoyed my video tutorial!
Next week I'll be doing these three block tutorials right here on my blog:)
1. Sewing Scissors
2. Knitting
3. Crochet Hooks
One of the things that I really love
about doing my sew alongs
is that we all have the opportunity
to get to know each other
and see each others progress through
where we can post pictures.
When you post a picture...
use the hashtag
and then everyone who is following
that hashtag page (including yourself and me)
will be able to see your post!
Then everyone can chat back and forth
by commenting on each others post.
It's a really fun way to
interact with each other:)
Okay...with that being said
I think we are all ready now
to get this sew along started!!
I'll meet you right back here next Monday:)
