Row by Row Experience has begun!

The Row-by-Row experience is a relaxing and fun new version of a shop hop.  Most shop hops involve a frantic weekend of traveling to see all the shops, but since this one is being held during the lazy days of summer, we've given you two full months to visit the shops of your choice!  From July 1st to September 2nd, each participating shop will be handing out a free pattern for a quilt row they've designed.  Most will have kits available for purchase as well.  Collect patterns from all your favorite shops, then put your rows together to make a custom quilt representing your favorite places. 

Our free pattern:

The first quilter to bring in a completed quilt using at least 8 different rows (quilted, bound, and labeled) at each shop will win a bundle of 25 fat quarters (6 1/4 yards of fabric!) and a bonus prize if the quilt includes the row from that store.  You have until October 31st to show your quilt and have a chance for the prize. 

 Shops in 34 states and Ontario will be participating this year!  So if you'll be traveling this summer, check this link for participating shops in that area!

Most shops are also offering collectible fabric license plates.  Use these on the backing of your row-by-row quilt, sew into a tote bag, or sew on a fabric border and mount them on stretcher bars to hang on your quilt room walls.
