I have been waiting for this day since last summer! Today marks the official start of the 2015 Row by Row Experience…this time with a water theme and MANY more shops!!
Even on Father’s Day my Hubby agreed to stop by an area quilt shop (although his limit was one today! Lol) so I could kick off our my adventure. 😉
Most shops are offering personalized license plates and that is how I am choosing the shops I will visit this summer during my travels. Here is my first one from Piece by Piece:
Each participating shop has created a row pattern and offers it for free and most have created kits you can buy to duplicate the row. This is a picture of the completed row for the pattern I got today:
I have a little something different in mind for my row quilt, using coordinated fabrics, so I didn’t buy the row kit. Last year I collected nine rows and license plates. This summer I am sure I can get more as I travel the Northwest. I have even recruited some fellow shop hoppers to join the adventure, much to the Hubby’s relief! Now to plot our course…..
Until next time,
Happy Quilting!

Hi Dawn Marie, Stopped to ck out a quilt shop in Brookings Oregon called “Country Keepsakes.” Peered thru the window as they were closed. Very nice and neat shop and pretty good size. Just a FYI. Janelle N.
