ROW BY ROW EXPERIENCE, ONTARIO

I'm crazy and so is my sister.  We've just spent weeks traipsing around Southern Ontario on the July Shop Hop and now the Row by Row Experience, Ontario, www.rowbyrowexperience.com.  There are no fees and no passports.  From July 1st to September 2nd, visit participating shops and pick up your free row pattern in the Sew a Season quilt.  

I can tell you that this is addicting.  

I've chosen our route and off we go . . . 

Cherished Pieces, Tillsonburg

The Quilting Bee, Fonthill

Cobwebs & Caviar, Shelburne

Country Concessions, Cookstown

Kalidoscope Quilts, Exeter

Ye Olde Quilt Shoppe, Stratford

That Quilt Place, Shakespeare

So here's my pile of twenty Row by Row Experience kits purchased along the way.  I've got a lot of work to do.

As an added bonus, many of the shops offered for sale fabric personalized shop license plates (way cool!).  I've been to 20 shops and picked up only five.  It seems that the Row by Row Experience is sooooo much fun that shops have sold out quickly.  I've left my name at all the participating shops in hopes that they will mail one to me when they are back in stock.

The Quilting Bee, in Fonthill, has even issued a challenge to use the fabric license plates in a quilt.  This is their quilt.
