Shop Hops

It's that time of year again! The Sunshine and Stitches Shop Hop is underway, and The Row by Row Experience is just around the corner. Make your plans to discover new shops and revisit old favorites.

Sunshine and Stitches runs now until July 1, 2017. Download your passport or pick one up at participating shops, such as The Pine Needle. Each shop has a free block kit, plus fun project kits for purchase. There's also drawings at each shop.

Share your shop hopping on social media: https://www.facebook.com/stitchesshophops/

Our July Fourth block can be incorporated into a sampler quilt, or used as a pocket on our fabric basket project.

Row By Row Experience

Row by Row runs June 21st through September 5th, 2017 (you have until October 31st to bring your completed quilt to a participating shop for potential prizes). Simply visit any of the participating shops and receive a free pattern for a row in a quilt. Combine your rows in any way to create a unique quilt that represents the fun you had traveling throughout the summer. Meet up with friends, discover new quilt shops, and have fun collecting rows! Check out the Row by Row website for prize information and all the pertinent details.

The Row by Row theme this year is On The Go! and we're going by trolley in honor of the trolley which connects Lake Oswego to Portland.

What We're Doing for Summer Vacation

What are you doing for your summer vacation (or stay-cation)? If your plans include a shop hop or two, we hope you add us to your must-see list. This year we are participating in two events.

The first is the Sunshine and Stitches Shop Hop. This Pacific Northwest Shop Hop begins June 18th and goes through July 2nd. Pick up your free passport at any participating shop now and plan your route! When the Hop starts, passport holders will receive a free pattern and fabric to complete a 6" quilt block. Check out the Sunshine and Stitches website for prize information and all the Shop Hop details.  In addition to our free Friendship Star block kit, we've designed a fun patriotic pillow pattern and kit, which features our block, for purchase. It's perfect for your summer decor! Congratulations to our in-store drawing winner Christine Arredondo! The second event we're participating in is the Row by Row Experience. This international shop hop that's not a shop hop begins June 21st and goes through September 6th (you have until October 31st to bring your completed quilt to a participating shop for potential prizes). Simply visit any of the participating shops and receive a free pattern for a row in a quilt. Combine your rows in any way to create a unique quilt that represents the fun you had traveling throughout the summer. Meet up with friends, discover new quilt shops, and have fun collecting rows! Check out the Row by Row website for prize information and all the pertinent  details. We've got a charming pieced row planned which we'll debut closer to the kick-off date. In the mean time, check out our Row by Row license plate and our free Market Bag tote with qualifying fabric purchase (it's a great way to show off the exclusive Row by Row fabrics).
