Row by row experience

We had a blast with the Row by Row Experience this summer! It brought so many folks into our shop; we made tons of new friends and are still working on catching up with cutting kits for everyone! Now that the official Row by Row shop hop period is over, we can share our row's pattern with everyone who couldn't make it in person to StitchCraft. The 2014 theme for designing a row was "Sew A Season," and we thought it would be appropriate to celebrate Turtle Nesting Season! We decided to donate…

If you're anything like me, then you just had to pick up those adorable things anytime you stopped in a quilt shop over the…

You would think that after all my gallivanting around the state of Minnesota, once I had time to be in my sewing room, I would work on one of my many UFO's, WIP's or PIGS (actually mine are PIQS since I use quilt shop sacks--not grocery). Wrong! As I was admiring my purchases, free shop hop block patterns and the Row by Row Experience patterns (that I occasionally remembered to ask for), I realized that a lot of the Row patterns had boats in them. I've been wanting to make a boat quilt for a…

I have had a lot of things going on, which is the story of my life. We had our family here and had another family wedding and then we kept our 5 year old grandson for an additional week. I took him home (six hour drive) and went shopping with my daughters and sister. It's convenient that both my daughters and both sisters live in the same metro area!
