July/August/September Classes!

Hi Quilters!

Row By Row is full steam ahead! If you haven't heard about Row By Row here's the details:

It's like a shop hop, but it's not... no fees, no cards to stamp, and all summer to play! Simply visit any of the participating shops and receive a free pattern for a row in a quilt. Combine your rows in any way to create a unique quilt that represents the fun you had traveling throughout the summer. Travel with friends, discover new quilt shops and have fun collecting rows!

Create a quilt using at least 8 different 2016 rows from 8 different 2016 participating RxR shops and be the first to bring it into a participating shop to win a stack of 25 fat quarters (6-1/4 yards of fabric!). Use that shop’s row in your quilt and win a bonus prize! More details available at https://www.rowbyrowexperience.com/

Row by Row Experience has only a few rules: one pattern per person, and we can not mail you a pattern. Please help us maintain integrity and don’t ask us to break these two rules!

Since we have two shops, we have two rows!
 

We will see you soon!
From our laps to yours,
Jody and her peeps at Home Grown Quilts

I am always a skeptic on making wallets- most of the time there is a ton of hand binding, there isn't enough room for all your stuff- including your check book- and it's just a LOT of work on a small project.
ENTER The Have It All Wallet- there is no binding!! There is plenty of room for everything you need to bring along- including your checkbook! And it is super easy and quick.
This is a total win!  (and if you plan it right, you can make a matching wallet for your 'My Favorite Bag' purse!
