Judy briefed members on the new "Row by Row Experience" for summer and the theme is water this year. It will happen from June 21 through September 8, 2015. Quilt shops all over the country design their own "row" and have the patterns available for customers. Customers then will make the rows and put at least 8 rows together to make a quilt. Our local shop is participating and there was discussion on planning a road trip to visit several participating shops. For more information, visit www.rowbyrowexperience.com.
Someone is looking to purchase a quilt. If you are interested, please bring your quilt to Sit and Sew. She is planning on attending to decide.
