I have been patiently waiting for the Row By Row Experience started. This year’s theme is music. I don’t necessarily make the traditional Row by Row quilts but I like the designs as table runners and so on. I am making a list of where I need to go around me to get the easy patterns. THEN comes vacation. Even tho we go in Sept and Oct, and the row by row are officially done, I will buy the kits, or order the pattern while I am out to use later. Do any of you collect these? What I do collect are the license plates from every Quilt shop I visit. My goal is to get one from all 50 states here in the US. We are planning on a short trip to Houston, Tx. Not sure when and I will plan stops on the way home. Then end of Sept. we will head out from Indep. MO to Glacier National Park in Montana, then to Yellowstone National Park, in Wyoming, then slowly make our way thru to Arizona, and New Mexico. Hubby and I have a perfect way to go on vacations. He collects stamps from National Parks and decides where we are going and what highways to take to see what we want to see. Then I plan on the stops by doing my research on quilt shops. For this the Row by Row Map works perfect.
Do you have a favorite way to find new quilt shops? Do you have a favorite shop in any of these areas that should be a must on our travels.
Right now I am trying to use up a large amount of my stash so I will have room for more.
Have a fun weekend and be safe.
