Row
by
Row
is
ON!
If you're looking for a good excuse to get out and visit fabric stores, maybe get a hamburger, some pastry or donuts, then Row by Row is your alibi.
Visit us and other stores, collect kits, then whip up eight rows into a quilt. Be the first to bring a finished quilt to Hip Stitch and you'll win the big, big prize of 25 fat quarters.
If the Hip Stitch row is in your quilt, there's a bonus prize, too. Our row -- a vertical, depicting white, blue and yellow tortilla chips t
umbling into a bowl of salsa -- was designed by Beth Trujillo. Her family goes back generations in New Mexico, so you know this recipe is muy auténtico.
Or just visit some shops, have some snacks or meals out and have some fun.
This year's theme: "Taste the Experience" so bring your appetite.
Row by Row License Plates, too!

Our baby is all grown up!
It's not our baby actually. Cindy and Jerry worked up "Jerry's Jellyroll Jig," but we've got Godfather-like pride in it.
Jerry's Jellyroll Jig is now being distributed internationally -- even in the old country -- by Moda/United Notions, one of the biggest organized notions syndicates in the world.
Just when you thought you were out, we're going to pull you back in.
As you visit other shops, leave the gun, take the cannoli and make them an offer they can't refuse. Tell them about Jerry's Jellyroll Jig.
Each jig that store sells means easier jellyroll projects which translates to more jellyrolls, more Katahdin, more patterns sold for that shop. Jerry and Cindy will thank you, and so will that shop owner.
And remember, "It's not personal. It's strictly business."

Out-of-town expert Gail Shannon is back to teach collage techniques. You can create a collage to honor the birth and colorful style of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (whose actual birthday is July 6th).
Use bright, fun Frida fabrics, and your favorite portrait of Frida, Gail will have some images to choose from, too.
Start collecting the fabrics and colors you imagine for your collage now. The size is up to you, however, 16" x 20" and larger will be easier to arrange

The Emerald City
Whether you're a friend of Dorothy or you think she should surrender, you'll appreciate this machine which we dubbed, "The Emerald City." With extra large metallic flake, it is headed to it's new home in Florida where it will doubtless impress manatees, crocodiles, alligators and the mermaids at the Weeki Wachee Springs.
See this machine for a limited time in store.
Pictures in the next edition.
