It's A Garden Party Show 'n Tell

Did you enjoy the designs during the It's A Garden Party Rowalong?

Here are the designs I chose to make from this year's event for today's Show 'n Tell:

My own of course - Poppy Dance Party. Read all about it here.

I also made 

Kathleen McMusing - Picnic Under the Quilt Block

Duck Creek Mountain Quilting - Hollyhocks

Words & Stitches - Picket Fence

Heleen Pinkster's Home-Tweet-Home (one component from it)

Clever Chameleon - Garden Bath Joy (most of it)

   

Ms P Designs - Pinwheel Posey Parade -- think Forget-me-knots

Stitchin' at Home -  Garden Blooms

Made by Marney - Enjoy Today - Think Crocus

I then got out my bricks (Humpty Dumpty's Wall) from last year's Rowalong
 --both a horizontal set and a vertical set that my mom made 'testing' the pattern for me

--and resurrected my Dogwood Branch from 2015!

Adding some extra stems, sky, tree trunk and grass filled in a few bits to organize all the elements into a single scene. Then added a black frame to finish it off. Fun! Right?
This is now my Spring Garden Party

Did you make any of the designs? Put something together? Tell us where to see it in the comments! Thanks for following along!

Thanks to #northcottfabrics for providing us samples each year.

So many events happening, thanks for stopping in and checking out this one! If you're coming to join the U.S. Tour Around the Block, you'll find week 3 (Washington Apple) here and come back in November for another state block that I've designed --but read the rest below and join in on this event too!

Back again for the annual Row Along w/Marian Pena ......for this year's theme It's A Garden Party, I chose the beautiful shaped poppy flower and bunting. It's a Poppy Dance Party!

Thanks to

for sponsoring again this year!

The original row size is 12" x 30" (no frame) and incorporates Northcott and moda fabrics.

I'm working on a collaborative result of many rows from this event, so this will be incorporated into a larger project for the show 'n tell event in October.

The kit comes with 5" x width of fabric for a frame --to be cut 1.5" wide,

which would make it 14" x 32"

I've also suggested several fabrics that you might like to add to your order that go with this theme. $75+ orders get free shipping!

Tutorials are included below and are not included in the pattern.

Corner-to-corner method

Using one red square, add small corner square and sew corner to corner as shown.

Set seam. Fold point from center of block to the outer corner and check that edges align. Return to position in which it was sewn. Trim to 1/4" seam allowance towards the outer corner. Fold point from center of block to the outer corner. Press. 

Bunting triangles

Using the templates, corners are trimmed so that it is clear how to line up the corners for sewing.

Interested in a row kit? You can purchase it here and it will include a printed pattern.

Free (thru Sept 17) pattern download available here.

Come back to see how I incorporated this into a larger quilt on October 13.
