So excited to be back again working with Marian Pena from Seams to be Sew who hosted last year's EQ Seasons row along and is doing many other like events throughout the year, but it is the one that I participated in. This year she has a co-host, Amy from Sew Incredibly Crazy.If this was the sight on your way home ...would you stop and watch?
At Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State during the summer months there is a laser light show projected onto the face of the dam. Memorial Day weekend (late May) through end of July it is at 10am, August 9:30pm; September 8:30pm. During the other months it does not run.
In 2015 my 'water' themed Row by Row Experience(TM) design was this:
With the theme of this Row Along--The Road Home--I decided to utilize a different variation of that original design and put it in context of the actual dam. Here is my EQ7 #EQ25 version.
There is a bit of paper piecing, some rotary cuts and some applique. I've tried to recommend the simplest approach for all parts.
Here is my final version. Summer Nights @ Grand Coulee Dam.
All of these fabrics are available in my shop.
The pattern is available via my Craftsy shop, FREE through October 16, 2016
and we have a couple other
Giveaways!!!! Yes ....wonderful giveaways!
Unique to this post ...from http://www.aurifil.com/
