For me my happy place is my growing orchard of fruit trees down the back of our yard. We are lucky to have a large block that allows me to have the space to grow some of my favourite fruits. It is a work in progress, as I have planted two new trees this spring. I now have a pear, a peach, an apricot, two plums, a lemon and a cherry. So I had to feature it as my happy place.
Of course we have to have a give away. It's so more fun if there is a chance to win something like fabric. A big thank you to Moda who have supplied us with this beautiful, I must have prize that I would love to win, but I am out of luck for this one. Plus don't forget to visit Marian Blog for more giveaways.

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 my blog daily during each featured day. There is no excuse for not reading them.
Until Next Time
Keep Stitching

Fruit trees in your own backyard sounds like such a pleasant place to be. Thank you for your pattern.
Beautiful, we have fruit trees and my boys love to climb to the top and reach the best apples 😊
I love that we have another pieced row in the row along and I love the "life amongst the trees" ... Its the one thing in the outdoors that I always admire seeing during the seasons each year. I'm so glad you participated with us again Cynthia, your a delight to have in the row along and I hope you'll do it again. Hugs!!
What a nice thing to have in one's backyard.
How awesome to have the space to grow your own fruit trees Thank you for the lovely row pattern that you are sharing with us.
Ronelle
I really like your trees. That is great you have a place to grow them. Thank you for the row.
We have fruit trees in our backyard too, and I love being able to go out there and pick fresh fruit at its peak! Your row captured the orchard beautifully!
I love the fabrics you have used. They are just right. Thank you
Love your trees block. Thanks for sharring.
Your trees are darling!! I love fruit trees too, and have 2 pear, 2 peach, and 1 apple.
Love your pattern! Thank you so much.
Hi, in Arizona I have lemon, orange and grapefruit trees which are a yummy treat. Thank you for the adorable tree row pattern.
That's a wonderful happy place - I would love to have it in my backyard too!
Who wouldn't be happy in their own orchard. I bet your busy in the kitchen canning when all those trees start to product their fruits. Thanks for a wonderful addition to the row along!
Love your trees. Nancy A: rangerer@sbcglobal.net
I love your trees! My plan is to do a nature quilt. So much thanks!
Wonderful trees! Thank you so much for this row. It will go so nicely with some other favorites.
I once had an orchard very much like yours: apricots, plums, pears, cherries, apples, grapes, and raspberries. It was magical in the spring when everything bloomed at once. But it was work in the fall to can and freeze all that fruit, all by myself. It does make a lovely quilt row. Thank you.
Wonderful trees. I would love the eating but not the taking care of the trees.
You are so lucky to have fruit trees on your property. We have only a couple and when I was growing up in So Cal, we had an abundance. I miss that! Thanks for sharing your row!
I really like the two trees in the middle....unique!
What a lovely place to be happy! I bet you have birds and butterflies too!
Thank you so much
Thanks for the lovely row!
I love decorative items with trees on them, so your row is perfect for me! So lovely, thanks for sharing.
That certainly does look like a happy place! Lucky you! Thank you so much for sharing
That certainly does look like a happy place! Lucky you! Thank you so much for sharing
Trees do make for a happier place. Thank you for creating it in fabric.
Thank you for sharing these cute trees . . . but they need some fruit hanging on them!!! Actually, I'm glad there's no fruit in evidence; my mouth is watering just thinking of all those wonderful fruits, fresh off the trees! You are blessed to have them.
Would love to grow these trees where we are, but the elk, deer, squirrels and jays would have a heyday!
Hopefully your fruit trees will produce some fruit. We have 2 apple trees but the apples never get big and always fall off before they should. Thanks for sharing your row.
I love your row! Thank you.
Love your trees as are so easy to customize.
Absolutely beautiful!. I totally love your row. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank your for the great row pattern. Nice to have fruit trees nearby.
Thank you for the mini forest of fruit.
Great little row of trees! I would love to be able to have fruit trees in my yard. Thank you for sharing!
This was my back yard as a child...great row! Thank you for this!
another beautiful row! you are amazing!
You will have your work cut out for you! But so worth it later in the year. It is too hot here for fruit trees. Thank you for sharing your row and story with us.
When I was growing up, we had over 1,000 peach trees and would pick and carry them to market, and can and preserve some, as well apples, and pears! It's a lot of work, but worth it! Thanks for sharing your beautiful row!
Thank you so much for being a part of the Row-Along! I checked the patterns when I downloaded them, and the foundation pattern only has the two spikey trees - not the two in the middle. Are they also supposed to be included? I checked all pages of both pdf's and only found the one set.
In any case, I do love the block and appreciate all the time and hard work that went into designing it. Blessings to you and yours, Vivian

Cute row! I'm jealous of all the wonderful fresh fruit you have with all the fruit trees.
You have a "rad" looking site and a beautiful row along. I love trees and many of my creations have trees in them.
Like your orchard a lot! thanks pjrquilter at msn dot com
This is a lovely row! I'm working on a forest quilt now with lots of trees and I think I might add in some of your pieced trees; I haven't seen a design like that before. Thanks for the beautiful design!
Such a beautiful row! Your trees are inspiring.
I, too, have a small orchard of very young trees. So excited when they begin to bear fruit.
Was your pattern supposed to be for both types of trees? The one I received was only for the triangular trees.
I LOVE your trees! They are a happy place for me too.
What a happy little row! I grew up on a farm, and down the road was an apple orchard. My dad had wired the buildings for the couple who owned it, and every time my mom would send me down on my bike for some apples to make a pie, Mrs. Bailey wouldn't ever let us pay for the apples! After they retired, the new owners cut down most of the apple trees and it's just never been the same. But your row brings back fond memories for me. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.
Oh I would absolutely love to have an orchard in my backyard. It would totally be my happy place as well. Cute little row!!
I love how here in Adelaide we have a great climate for fruit and nut trees. We have trees in our backyard too, as well as a small banana that fruits well. My MIL has an amazing macadamia tree next door that fruits over the fence. Great row.
An orchard in my backyard would make me happy, too!
Thanks for the pattern and the give away.
That's a neat row! Not many people have fruit trees anymore. My dad had an orchard when I was growing up, and it was constant work - especially if the trees bloomed before the last frost.
Yum fruit salad!!
I love mowing around fruit trees it smells so fabulous when you run over the over ripe fruit on the ground. Your row makes me remember taking care of my grandfathers fruit orchard.
Love your row as it reminds me of many a hike I've made in many a majestic forest. Thank you for bringing back a wonderful memory. Thank you also for sharing your time, your talent and your creativity.
We live in the country, with many trees of our own, so your row really speaks to me. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Lovely row! I like the green fabrics you picked and the theme of trees. Thanks for participating:)
Cute row! Thanks so much for sharing!
How lucky you are, Cynthia, to have an orchard of fruit trees on your property! To have fresh fruit all season is a dream and to think of all the yummy recipes you can make with them! Your row is perfect to reflect your favorite trees. duchick at mchsi dot com
Nature is the best, especially watching the seasons change! We're lucky enough to live with woods behind and a lake in front.

Thank you for the wonderful row!!!!
Thanks for the pattern!
This is lovely. Your own "forest" with fruit. Would make me happy too. Thanks for sharing.
Such lovely trees! And won't it be fun to harvest the fruit on your real orchard too.
Thanks for sharing. :)
