My Happy Place Row-Along - My Day

Today is my day to share my row for the "My Happy Place" Row Along online.  Thank you for stopping by to check out my row and to pick up the pattern.  The pattern will be free for one week and then will be on sale for a small fee.

I've lived in Boston 2 times now between grad school at Northeastern and a stint of working back there, and would be there now if I had a job back there.  I love the history and the scenery of the area.   Urban and green spaces all mingle together.   I love walking in town, riding the subway and all that is available there.  It is safe to say that Boston is one of my favorite cities. 

As an homage to all that is back there , I've designed a row that is a silhouette view of the Boston skyline.   Shown in the row are silhouettes of various buildings office buildings downtown, the state capital building, the Paul Revere monument, the Zaycon Bridge, the Boston Garden, and others.   The trees and green spaces around town and the surrounding areas are represented by the green triangles on either side.  The Charles River and Boston Harbor are represented by the blue water at the bottom of the row.  Everything is silhouetted against a wonderful sunset sky

One detail of the buildings.  The "building" in the foreground shown here is actually a representation of the Zaycon bridge that I drove over every day when going to/from work the last time I lived in the Boston area.










I put green equilateral triangles on either side of the buildings to represent all of the green areas. whether cultivated or forested, that are in the Boston area.  Two of them are solid pieces and the others are string pieced.  The variety of colors in the greens are meant to bring to mind the colors in the trees during all seasons of the year.















Once again this year, those of us designing rows were blessed to have fabric sent to us from Northcott Fabrics.   I chose to use fabrics from their Artisan Spirit collections.   Colorways used were the Mineral and Blue Lagoon.  These are wonderful feeling fabrics and are lovely to work with.  These fabrics were used in the water, binding, and most of the buildings.

The remaining fabrics in the buildings and the trees were from my scraps.  The sky fabric is by Timeless Treasures.

The pattern for the pattern can be downloaded from my Craftsy Store.  It will be free through October 4th.

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 the companies shipped the prize to Marian, 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 Marian's blog daily during each featured day. There is no excuse for not reading them.
