Are you just wrapping up the 2018 row by row at the participating quilt shops.. Here is one that you don’t have to leave your house for. Just sit by your computer and click on the links to the blogs that will be releasing their individual rows on these set dates.
Id like to extend thanks to Marian At Seams to be Sew for running this 4th row along… this year our rows are to represent “My Happy Place.”
This is the 3rd year that I have joined in this row along… If you have been following at all the 1st year I did The Road Home row with Alberta Canada . and last year Caroling Along with “Winter Wonderland”.
I’m not sure if you have noticed a theme in my rows? Can you guess what it is by looking at my past rows? Yes they each have a horses in them… I’m continuing with this theme this years row…
My Happy Place is going out for a ride in the morning while the sun rises.
Why sunrise? Well in the mornings here it is cooler and much more comfortable to ride than after the sun has come out and heated things up. Also in the morning we have a much better chance of seeing wildlife than after a busy day of traffic. Watching nature wake up is very relaxing.. Did you know that dew will land on cob webs and as the sun strikes them they look like glass pearls.
Knowing that I wanted to do a sunrise and a girl riding I purchased a charm pack that had sun and grass colors as I mostly ride in fields. I found 2 charm pack by Northcott fabrics from the Artisan Spirit line Sandscapes that would make this perfect one green and one with Red, orange to yellows.
I cut all the pieces to make my row and soon realized that I would have a lot of leftovers.so then I ran to my stash to find fabrics, to make an other row with just plain fabrics for your free pattern.. These are my new fabrics.
Picture History of the making my row “Ride At Dawn”
Pattern can be found here: My Happy Place RAL Ride at Dawn
So now getting back to those charm squares that I purchased for this row. Since I had so much leftovers I decided to do a 2nd row with a cowboy riding with the cowgirl. I found a picture that I had taken of myself and hubby riding together. It gave me the idea for my row/rows. and I have a water color painting the I also used for inspiration.
Photo History of making of the 2 blocks with the Northcott fabrics.
Now with the top completed the fun part was to begin.. I’m really enjoying quilting on my longarm when the quilt talks to me. and this one was shouting sun and grass. 
The male rider will be released on the crafty store once I get my computer back in order from being sent to the doctors. They completely formatted it which wiped out everything thank goodness i had backed up everything. The Cowboy silouette can be found here My happy place cowboy Thank you for your patience.

This is absolutely beautiful. Reading your story/blog I was waiting with baited breath for the silhouette of the male rider and it was not there.. Are you going to option it on Craftsy? I would love to have it. You chose the perfect colors. Thank you for the row.

Yep, I’m wondering where that second rider option is also :p~ This is an amazing row Renee, but each row each year has surprised me each time and I so remember that first year and that’s what we both have in common. We both started our blogs based on events we had entered. I’ve loved each year you’ve come along to participate and your rows are always amazing this one included. Please let me know how to get that 2nd rider also. Many Many Hugs!!
