The Row by Row Experience for 2019 has started.  Our free pattern will be an 18" block called "Sunbonnet Sue visits the Blueberry Patch".   Delphine made the sample with fusible applique but if you want to do hand turned applique that would work also.  We even have a companion pattern and kit for Overall Bill at the Raspberry Patch.  Printed panels of the block center will be available to purchase for those who prefer to not applique. 

Visit the Row by Row website at https://rowbyrowexperience.com for all the details.  The website has links to all the Rows or Blocks being offered by shops through out the world.  Since you can only get the free pattern by going into the shop you'll want to narrow your choices to where you will be traveling this summer :)



A Request and a Thank You from our Patriotic Sewers!

Several people have stepped up and quilted tops for this group and we Thank you.  But we continue to have a need for long arm quilters, so  if you haven't offered to quilt a top but would like to,  we can still use quilters.  Please contact the shop at 989-732-1252 if you are able to help.  

We can also use folks to sew on binding and do piecework.   You can meet with the groups on their Sewing Days or work from home.

Cost is bargain priced at $20.00




Birthstone Class with Julie Manis
Saturday, September 28th: 10:30am to 5:00pm

Have you seen these blocks?  They are gorgeous.  We have arranged for a certified teacher to lead this class in making the Emerald Block.  The technique used, for piecing, is freezer paper foundation piecing.  Many people find this easier than traditional flip and sew foundation piecing.
