Thanks so much for stopping to visit. This is my post for our 2018 Row Along, organized by the fabulous Marian Pena from Seams To Be Sew. We have 54 different quilt bloggers/designers participating this year! And…lots of great FREE STUFF! I am offering a free paper piecing pattern. You will find the incidentals towards the end of this post.
Our theme this year is MY HAPPY PLACE. Here’s my free row…My Sewing Room MERGED-My-Sewing-Room-BEST.pdf (1477 downloads ) . This paper pieced row consists of 4 blocks, each 7 1/2″x 7 1/2″. This makes the entire row measure 7 1/2″ high x 30″ long (finished).
Since there’s no place I would rather be than in my sewing room, I am going to make this row into a wall hanging to place above my sewing machine. If you are new to paper piecing, I suggest you watch one of my paper piecing tutorials.
I have added a 1 1/2″x 30 1/2″ strip of BLACK fabric to the top and bottom of my row. Then added a 4″x 30 1/2″ strip at the top and a 10″x 30 1/2″ along the bottom. These pieces can be adjusted to make your wall hanging any height you want. I have steam pressed a piece of fusible fleece to the back of the entire unit. Then I added a backing piece and quilted the entire unit.
Next I created a row of 5 pockets by sewing 5 squares 6 1/2″x 6 1/2″ together. This unit was also quilted and basted to the bottom of my wall hanging. I sewed between each pocket in the seam “ditch” to separate the pockets.
Then I added black binding…I love it! I added tabs along the top to hang from my existing wooden quilt hanger, but a hanging pocket would also work.
Are you new to paper piecing? I have 2 paper piecing books with great step by step directions, Cute and Clever Totes and Sew Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Both books are great for beginners, but also have lots of fun paper pieced patterns for intermediate quilters.
I am so EXCITED to explain this Give-Away because it is from the same company that publishes my books, C&T Publishing. They are giving away a $100 Gift Certificate! That means you can choose from SO MANY great C&T books and sewing tools. I can’t say enough about this wonderful company.

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.

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.
