The first day of summer, June 21, is also the first day of the Row by Row Experience 2015. It is an exciting shop hop event where you can visit participating shops and receive a free pattern for a quilt row. Collect at least 8 row patterns, make a quilt and show-and-tell at a participating shop and you could win prizes! There are over 2700 participating shops from all 50 states and Canada with 107 shops in my home state of Pennsylvania. Just amazing! This year is the third year that our local quilt shop, The Round Bobbin is participating in this event. Every year, I have had the privilege of designing the row for The Round Bobbin. So, with an event theme of H2O (water!), our row for the The Round Bobbin is the Storm At Sea!
It is a paper-pieced pattern as the pieces do get a bit small. Susan S., the shop owner, put the row together and Susan A. machine quilted fish on it! So wonderful! It looks great even as a stand-alone row (think table runner!). You just have to come and see it!!!
Our Fabric plate this year is - Bobbin Along! I accidentally came up with it during a group discussion.
So, if you're in Ambler, Pennsylvania this summer (June 21-Sept 8), drop by the Round Bobbin, pick up your free row pattern and maybe throw in a kit and a fabric plate!
