I am finally back...life happens...and things get in the way of other things.

Row by Row experience...The Cherry Pit ( Sevierville TN)

This is The Cherry Pit quilt shop's row by row sample.

This shop had sooo many samples displayed.

I loved them all.

I love the colors and "fun" look of this one.

Lots of patterns to browse and choose from.

I could not resist this one with the snowman.

The shop is well worth going out of the way to visit.

Row By Row experience...Red Barn Custom Quilts ( Sevierville, TN)

Red Barn Custom Quilts row by row...I love the sunflowers and their  license plate.

The shop had a nice display of color quilts on display....made me

 wish I had my sewing machine with me!

The color was colorful and very inviting.

I love this sample from the book Simple Stars Beautiful Quilts.

row by row experience... Quilter's Quarters (Waynesville NC)

 

This is Quilter's Quarters row by row block. It represents the Fall season.

The store had a nice variety of quilts displayed. I wish I lived close

enough to attend classes there. They also do retreats.

I had to buy a layer cake (Rejoice by Moda). They had a large selection of Christmas fabrics, batiks, and colorful fabrics. Lots of patterns, quilty items.

Carpenter's Wheel

This was a quick quilt to make...half square triangles and a few squares. Now to get it on my longarm.

2014 Row By Row Experience

 I have been on several road trips with friends collecting patterns, kits and license plates. I have completed my first row. The picture above is from their shop...mine is reversed. My snowflakes did not show up in my snapshot so I decided to use theirs.  This is from Quilter's Corner Quilt Shop in Midlothian , Virginia. I bought their kit ( and it had the appliques precut, so I only had to iron on and blanket stitch around.)  I am not from Virginia so my next block will be from North Carolina. It is so hard to choose. They are so cute. When I get some roads made then I will have to decide about borders, sashing, how to add the shops' fabric license plates  ( they are 3 1/2" by & inches).Off to choose!!
