Row by Row 2016 Begins June 21
Once again, the Row by Row
Experience is ready to delight
quilters everywhere! The
chosen theme for the year is
Home Sweet Home...just wait
until you see what the shops
are putting together! These
fantastic new rows will be
displayed at the various quilt
shops very soon.
Starting June 21, quilters across
the nation and Canada will
begin making their rounds to
quilt shops everywhere,
gathering free patterns just for
the asking! When a quilter
gathers at least 8 different
patterns, makes them up, sews
them together, finishes and
labels the quilt, she rushes to
claim her prize at one of the
participating shops. If she is the
first to arrive with a finished
Row by Row quilt, she receives
25 free fat quarters!
Some Row by Row quilters are
happy just to collect kits and
free patterns, visiting quilt shops
in every area.
Row by Row
2016!

Row by Row Experience™
began in 2011 with 20 quilt
shops across New York
State. In 2012 the event grew
to 62 participating shops.
Pennsylvania joined in 2013
totaling 138 shops between the
two states.
In 2014 over 1250 quilt shops
participated in 34 states and
Ontario. 2655 shops across the
US and Canada made 2015 the
biggest year so far! 2016
promises to be even better yet!
Although the quilt shops are
organized by area, quilters have
no boundaries. Travel, shop,
collect patterns and add rows
to your quilt from anywhere!
Climb aboard ...join the fun!
Great Times at Seven Sisters MODA Club
The MODA Mama Club at Seven Sisters Quilt Shop has
been a big hit for quilters all over the state. At every
meeting, a different MODA designer is featured, and the
designer’s latest fabric collection is presented. Members
receive free patterns, demos and great ideas along with
dessert, show & tell and great discounts. Ask for all the
details and find out how you and your quilting friends can
take part in the fun. You just might be a MODA Mama!

Julia’s Journal
May/June 2016
Avery and I have both been collecting Box Tops for our school since
Kindergarten. Our school sets a Box Top goal each year. When we
meet our goal, we all vote on how our school should spend our
Box Top cash. We like to add something fun to our playground or
to our sports equipment, making our school an even better place to
be. Our goal for this year is to collect 5000 Box Tops. We are
half-way there, but the school year will be over soon. Box Tops can
be found on so many grocery items, paper products, cleaning items
and cereal boxes to name a few. We have a box at the Quilt Shop
that we are using to collect any Box Tops that aren’t already spoken
for. If you aren’t saving Box Tops for somebody else, would you
mind clipping them and dropping
them in our box at Seven Sisters?
