My Happy Place Row Along!
Today's my day to share my row that I designed for the My Happy Place Row Along with Marian at Seams to be Sew. I hope you have been visiting all the wonderful bloggers and designers that have been releasing their row patterns and entering to win some fabulous prizes!
I have always been a city girl, and the happy place I chose to design is the sunset/sunrise with a city skyline. When I designed the pattern I was living in Minneapolis, knowing that I had the potential to be moving to another city. This row is inspired by the Minneapolis skyline, but it's definitely more generic and can be representative of any city!
When I moved to Minneapolis in 2013, I was looking at condos in the uptown area and was able to snap this amazing photo of downtown.
Flash forward to early this summer, we were a friend's housewarming and I was able to get another spectacular view of downtown.
There are just so many happy memories that I associate with the skyline view and hanging out with friends on rooftops.
I hope you enjoy my pattern!
Northcott Fabrics sponsored this Row Along and provided my skyline fabric - Artisan Spirit Shimmer in Black. I think it gives the skyline some really fun depth like city lights. Here is the combination of fabric that I chose, I used plain solids for the sunset.
Make sure to share the happiness by visiting the other Bloggers/Designers that have rows that are shared today as well!

I love the way your sunset adds colours to the cityscape. Thank you for the block.
Love your photos. The row design really shows them well.
I love the photos and your interpretation is wonderful.
Love the pictures you took & your row! Would love to see views from the rooftops with you 🙂 How fun..& Special! 🙂
Thanks, Sherry. Since I live in the Minne-apple metro area, I’m delighted with your skyline row. I’m looking east when I see it, so I’m calling it a sunrise.
Great row, thanks so much for sharing!
What a beautiful row! I love how you did the sky. Thanks!
Great row! Love how you pieced the skyline and the buildings for it. And I love ‘meeting’ another engineer who quilts. Thanks for sharing
Love your row! Thank you so much!
Your row is beautiful!! I love your fabric choices. Thanks for sharing.
I love your skyline! I need to look over my photographs and try something similar. Thank you for the inspiration!
Wow, fabulous skyline! I always thought it would be wonderful to live toward the top of a tall building with a view like that. I imagine New York City most often, but San Francisco, too. Thank you for a great row pattern.
A beautiful row of the sunset behind the city. A fabulous idea to show your favourite place Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful row! Thanks for sharing.
I love your sky background. So modern and striking!
While I am a country girl, I do appreciate all the structure that goes into building a city. It’s too fast-paced for me, but I do like to visit a big city, as long as someone else will drive me! Thank you for your work.
A beautiful quilt with sunset. Now I know what Minneapolis looks like. Isn’t this where the famous Mayo Clinic is? I wish you could tell me which building it is (I guess that is a nursey kind of question) but I still would like to know. Thank you for this gorgeous row.
