Upcoming Events

Virtual Shop Hop By The Bay
June 24 – June 28, 2020

NotJustQuiltZ is open for foot traffic from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily

For this year, Shop Hop by the Bay is going virtual.

SHBTB will still be offering prizes but there will be no stamping of passports and such. They’re also going to be on Facebook for those who want to participate in yet another chance for a prize. For the particulars you can visit SHBTB’s Prizes and Rules pages on their website. You’re encouraged to visit their Shops page for individual shop links.

Patterns

Each shop will have a piece of a pattern that you’ll be able to download or if you feel comfortable, pick up in-person (if the shop is open for walk-ins). For walk-ins you will be asked to provide your email address so the shop can send you their part of the pattern.

This year’s pattern is called “Houses in the Cabin.” You can download the complete pattern instructions from their website, and then you’ll be able to request and download the individual blocks provided by each participating shop. The main pattern is a house “container” block that each of the other blocks will fit into. Pictured at right is our block, “Card Trick.”

To get the instructions for our pattern block, and to be entered in a prize drawing, please submit this short form. You will receive an email with the downloadable pattern, and if you do not, please contact us.

Shop Hop By The Bay is now over.

Congratulations to our $50 Gift Certificate winner, Carole Donovan!

Row By Row Experience: June 21 –  Sep 6, 2016

row by row logo 2016Are you ready for another summer of traveling, finding new quilt stores and picking up your free Row By Row patterns? Well, the fun started on June 21 and we’ve seen a lot of people already. It helped, of course, that Shop Hop by the Bay was happening at the same time Row By Row started. The theme this year is “Home Sweet Home.” Visit www.rowbyrowexperience.com for participating quilt shops in the areas you live or travel to.

Let’s review the rules. When you go to any quilt store in the U.S. and Canada (and now 8 European countries), you just ask them if they are participating in Row By Row. If they are, they will give you their free pattern to make either a horizontal or vertical row that will measure 9″ high by 36″ wide. They will have kits for you to purchase, plus they may have license plates, car pins, charms, Row By Row pins and Row By Row fabrics. Take your time to look around and see what they have. If you are competitive, then you’ll want to complete at least 8 rows and make them into a completed quilt including binding and a label on the back that gives the names of the 8 stores where you bought your rows. If you are the first person to deliver your quilt to a participating shop, then you will win 25 fat quarters from that store. If you have also used that store’s row in the quilt, they may have an additional prize for you.

Our row this year is a vertical row in Aboriginal fabrics that illustrates the Aboriginal landscape. Since the Aboriginal people are nomadic, they don’t have a “home” per se. The women gather the food and the men hunt. When they are together as a family sitting around the fire pit, they also tell their “Dreamtime” stories about their spiritual beliefs and ancestral history. When you purchase a kit, you also get another set of female images so you can decide if you want to make the row vertical or horizontal.

The Row By Row Experience goes through September 6, 2016. So ask your friends and family who live in other areas, get a pattern or kit for you and you do the same for them.
