It’s a Garden Party Row Along – My Row

Hi Everybody! It’s my turn to share my row for the Row Along! First I want to say THANK YOU! to Marian, at Seams to be Sew

She organizes this event every year and it’s quite an undertaking. This is my first year participating. It’s been a fun experience. There are so many talented designers in the row along…it’s really worth checking out. Every year it as been a different theme. This year was It’s a Garden Party. I was pretty excited about that theme because there are so many ideas you can use for that.

I kept it sweet & simple. Plant is my Row. You can DOWNLOAD IT HERE——>Plant row along by Charisma

 

I turned my row into a bench pillow. I used a line by Maywood Studios called Sunlit Blooms.

When I designed my row I had many ideas swirling about what I should design. I love hand embroidery, modern patterns, gnomes, flowers, vines ect. But something that always comes up in my work is words, text, quotes, sayings, scriptures ect and the words Plant & Grow came to me and I just decided to keep it simple, sweet, and have fun.

The pattern for the row will be available for the next few weeks to download for the Row Along. But if you’d like the extended version that includes the instructions for the pillows and the extra directions for Grow:

You can find this pattern listed in my Etsy shop, HERE. It’s available as a digital download or a pattern that can be shipped as well. Grow can also be made with the blocks placed vertically and its works out perfectly.

 

I am also a sponsor of this Row Along. YAhoo! So you have a chance to win 3 of my patterns:

Carousel, Love Actually and Starry Eyed. International winners will receive digital downloads. The winners in the USA can choose to have the patterns shipped or receive digital downloads.

 

 

 

 

There are several prizes. Please read the rules and make sure you comment. :)

Do you EQ?

Electric Quilt is a sponsor of this row along. If you don’t have EQ8 and you have thought about designing your own quilts now is the time to get the program. You can get a 20% discount with this code: GARDENPARTY20

I use EQ to design 90% of my quilts.
