A Year of Row Quilts

Row by Row Experience
We are participating in the Row by Row Experience for the first time this year.  We apologize for not anticipating the interest in the license plates, but the Country Treasures license plates should be here in about two weeks.  If you stopped by during the first few weeks, please give us a phone call at 802-875-4377 or send us an email and we will be happy to take your name and address and mail you one when they arrive.  We still have not had a winner, so hurry and finish your binding!

A Year of Row Quilts
When Jim (my business manager) saw my Row by Row Experience sample he said ‘you should make one for each month.’  What a great idea, thanks, Jim!  The ideas for each month just came bursting out.  Here are a few of the months we have ready so far.  The patterns are free when you purchase the corresponding mini-bundle of 5 fat quarters for $14.95.  As you can see I am having a wonderful time designing a row for each month.

 
Summer Sale
There is still a week left in our summer sale.  The sale ends next Sunday, July 27.
