Row by Row - Home Sweet Home

It's week #2 of this year's Row by Row Experience.  It had barely begun when there was already a store winner in Tennessee. 

Here are some other early birds:

Texas

Utah

Yesterday we had word that there was a winner in North Carolina.  This quilt was turned in at "Sewingly Yours" in Lewisville, NC.

These quilters all did a beautiful job of speed sewing and setting the rows together in an interesting way, instead of just making a long, SKINNY quilt!

If I remember correctly, last year the winning quilt here at Cotton Fields was turned in during the second week. Wonder who that winner will be this year? Here's the prize waiting for them:

PATTERNS!

My GREAT sister-in-law, Jeri, is always sending me ideas!  Recently she sent me a cute table runner and pattern by Sweet & Simple.  That got me looking and I ended up ordering quite a few of their patterns.  They all cost $4 each!

These next three patterns I managed to find on my own.  They are all from "Made by Marney".  So cute, I'll be sure to add more to this collection.  They are all PAPER PIECED!  $10 each.

LAST, but certainly not least, is another of Jeri's discoveries, the Fold 'n Stitch Wreath.  Along with these patterns ($9.00), I have the pre-cut packs of 12 fusible squares to make the project even quicker ($8.50).

New Page

There are three area quilt shows on the horizon this fall.  I've created a QUILT SHOWS page here on the blog where you can find complete details about the shows coming up in Washington, New Bern, and Wilson.  First up is the show in Washington, NC, featuring this beautiful raffle quilt (chances are available NOW at Cotton Fields). 

Row by Row Experience - Home Sweet Home

HOME SWEET HOME is this year's theme for the Row by Row Experience. The event starts on June 21 and stores all over the US and Canada are participating.  

You can pick up a free pattern at each shop and will have the opportunity to buy fabric kits for the rows, fabric license plates and Row by Row themed fabric.  Remember: NO MAIL ORDERS.  You must pick up your row pattern in person or send a friend or relative.  Here's what you'll find at Cotton Fields Quilt Shop.

OUR ROW

OUR LICENSE

Each state has its own Row by Row Facebook Page.  Here in NC, type the whole name:  North Carolina Row by Row Experience to see pictures of the rows that have been revealed so far.  Make your travel plans!

Remember, the patterns are FREE.  You can choose to collect the patterns and use your own fabric if you wish.  As you travel about, you will see what many different shops have to offer.

Here at Cotton Fields, I chose to carry the Row by Row themed fabrics designed by Timeless Treasures Fabric.  I have these in stock now, at $12.29/yard.

I also have many of the Timeless Treasures blenders that coordinate.

What prompted this batik order?  I needed to order the GRAND PRIZE for this year's Row by Row Experience.  Cotton Fields will be presenting this beautiful package of Anthology Fabrics batik fat quarters to the first person to arrive with a finished quilt (of 8 or more rows) after the June 21 start.

$65 value!

More batiks will be arriving SOON from Robert Kaufman, so stay tuned.
