Moda All Stars All in a Row Blog Hop Day #11




Welcome to Day #11 of the Moda All Stars All in a Row Blog Hop. I am so proud to be part of this talented group of women who have donated their time to create unique rows for this book with all proceeds donated to No Kid Hungry. Each day of the Hop, two designers have been swapping rows to put their own twist on the other designer's row.  Kaari Meng of French General and I are posting a version of each other's rows today. I LOVE her Drunkard's Path variation, but not so crazy about the curved piecing. What to do? Layered Patchwork! I used her template to create the quarter circles, then simply stitched them on top of the red squares for a super easy version of this delightful row.





Here's a list of all the previous Blog Hoppers so you won't miss a thing:
January 18: Brenda Riddle & moi.
January 19: Corey Yoder & Janet Clare
January 20: Me & My Sister (aka Barb & Mary) & Barbara Brackman
January 21: Pat Sloan & Edyta Sitar
January 23: Sweetwater (Karla, Lisa) & Blackbird Designs (Alma & Barb)
January 24:  Anne Sutton & Laurie Simpson
January 27: Kate Spain & Sandy Gervais
January 28: Kaari Meng & Lynne Hagemeir

My part in the Beauty Contest? A nutty fall princess, complete with acorn/leaf tiara, fall feather boa and my acorn/leaf row as a sash. So chic! (FYI - I was looking down at the floor because a previous beauty contestant fell over a cord. Trying not to look like the queen of klutz!)


In addition, I'll be giving away a copy of the All in a Row book right here next week on my regular Monday blog post. Any comment enters you in my giveaway!

  52. There is nothing nutty about a beauty pageant contest who is cautious enough to watch where she is walking!

    Thanks for the chance to win a copy of this wonderful book. I would love to get started on a row quilt, and I think I would find a lot of inspiration in Row by Row.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I love this book. Every row inspires me to create a row quilt. The rows would also be great as borders. I might have to start small with a table runner. There are not enough hours in the day to make all the quilts swirling around in my head!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Thank you for designing a "fall" themed row, Lynne. I love leaves and especially acorns.
