I've been looking at the themes folks have picked and was astounded at how many birdhouse themed rows there are. Pelicans are common around the Gulf Coast.... Magnolia blossoms in the deep south. Looking at the State's photo galleries is a mini art exhibit in itself :-). Longhorns and bluebonnets in Texas (anyone surprised by that one?) So many applique rows, too.... I prefer piecing. I have two kits so far... This weekend will have me tooling around picking up more patterns.

Podunk -- Wow! is right. Another word that comes to mind is Sweet. Okay, a third.... Score!!!! Good job!

The shops design their row. No one dictates it.

I love several row by rows in the Houston area and I live 6 hours away and drive that far. Can you purchase the kits and have them mailed to you?

They can't sell them by mail until Nov. 1st. The idea is to get people to come into the shops. However many of the shops sell the licence plates that you can order now.

Wow! and I thought getting 7 last week was a big deal!! The real bonus is having a DH that will go with you! He's a keeper!

I finally got a chance to do some sewing on my Row by Row quilt. Almost have 3 rows done....just need to add the embellishments and writing in some areas to finish them up. The next rows in line are pieced instead of applique so they may go a little faster. I can't believe that so many quilts have been completed already. One of them was completed and taken to a shop to collect the prize the day after RBR started! I don't anticipate "winning" anything since there are only 4 shops within 100 miles of me but I'm having fun doing these rows. Here's a photo of my not-quite-finished rows so far. Anyone else have photos of their rows to share?

here's mine so far. I've got one I've not started yet, and plan on picking up three more Friday.

Here is my progress so far. I have not done anything that I can't do with my straight stitch machine yet. I'll have to thread up my embroidery machine to finish some of these.

Wow, love the rows. I'm just on my 2nd row!

That is a great idea. I did the same thing until I found out you can use QuiltingHub's Trip Planner for just the shops in row by row. Saves a lot of time. To use it, go to the row by row event on QuiltingHub and click the blue "Use Trip Planner(tm) for this event only." Then vwallah! the shops you see are just the ones participating in row by row. Ingenious and easy.
