It worked out perfectly that one of the few remaining blocks in this Splendid Sampler series is called My Happy Place. Stacia, Deloise and I recently spent a week in Deloise’s Happy Place (she even has a sign saying that). I think it is safe to say that both Stacia and I agree that Deloise’s Happy Place is our Happy Place.

I modified the pattern a bit by adding the tape measure (rather than embroidering a needle and tape measure). I used some of Mum’s fabrics on the design wall (which is actually made from batting). Rather than stitch around the appliqué shapes I did some straight-line quilting that caught at least some part of all the pieces.

Rather than facing or binding I again used the rotary pinking shears (thank you Stacia) to finish the edges.
