Row by Row Experience 2015 and Ontario July Shop Hop

Hi!

I hope you have been participating in the Row by Row Experience 2015.  This is my first year doing it and I'm having a blast.  Patterns and kits are available from listed shops across North America.  Also, fabric license plates with quilt sayings on them are for sale in some of the stores.

I started collecting on Thursday and went to the shops farthest away from me.  Three friends, Crystal, Joan, and Janice are also joining in the madness.  Between the three of us we hope to get a wide ranging collection.  Friends and family have been roped into this adventure.  Some of them with great delight, others with, "You want me to do what?  Why?  What does that even mean, you want me to get you a kit and a license plate?  Seriously?"

Yes, we do want that.  Thanks so much!
Anybody else want to join in our search or have help with yours?

While this is going on until September the Ontario July Shop Hop is also going on.  Two fun reasons to get out and about to quilt stores.  The shop hop gives a fabric kit, pattern, and a passport to be stamped at the participating shops.  Each shop has designed a unique layout for this event.  My favourite so far is from Sew Creative in Mount Bridges.  When she has finished creating the pattern for it I hope to post pictures.

I've picked up Row by Row kits from Heart'n Home in New Hamburg with the beautiful adirondack chairs. Of course I had to chose at least one purple chair. 



 The other one I've gotten is from Sew Sisters.  I've always wanted to do a Storm at Sea quilt but wasn't sure I felt like doing a full sized version.  This one allows me to give it a try with just one row.



Hope you join in the fun.
