Sounds like a great day carriem and QNS. Would love to see a photo of your hauls.
QuiltE - Row by row sounds like an interesting shop hop. And I'm surprised the local hop is giving out their block kits for free. Fabulous. The last hop put on here had people running in, buying a kit, and running out. My friend and I went to every store, but we checked out what each store had to offer. A few stores hadn't been on the radar before but were afterwards.
And in my bursting at the seam news:

When the owner told me Canada D'Eh was in the front window I didn't realize how prominent it would be. She also told me there is quite a large event planned for July 1 so people would see my quilt. They even gave me credit.

Here is the store front. The quilt in the other window is the store's version of the pattern I used for Canada D'Eh. They stuck a lot closer to the pattern than I did.
