The 2016 theme was Home Sweet Home, and each shop worked with that theme theme in their row. Stitcher's Quest wanted to incorporate 3 things into their row: a white sand beach, houses, and some F35 jets to represent the nearby Air Force base.
After playing around with some different options and going through some different iterations we settled on a horizontal layout with the background (sand, water, sky) and the houses being traditionally pieced and the palm tree and jets being appliqued.
Stitcher's Quest found some great fabrics that worked really well for each of the parts of the design. I added quilting to highlight and give texture to different parts of the quilt.
Below is a picture the Stitcher's Quest display area (along with some of my Meadow Mist designs patterns :)
Love the silhouette jets, really eye catching!
ReplyDeleteI love the theme and your take on it Cheryl! It feels very Florida to me!

Do you know if they will make the kit available after the time out period? We're F-35 people here in Fort Worth, so this needs to be in our home!
ReplyDeleteThe row and display look wonderful, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteLove the row. It would work well here in So Cal too. Top Gun! And Row by Row is almost over. Sigh. Where did the summer go?
ReplyDeleteHaving finished a row by row quilt for the second year, most of the patterns I have collected have been 9 inches by 36 inches. In this way, you can easily mix horizontal and vertical rows. For the person above who asked if kits will be available, both patterns and kits are usually available by mail after Nov. 1st.
ReplyDeleteI do love your design for the row by row. You incorporated all the elements beautifully.
Beautiful row Cheryl! I especially love the palm tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great design! The display of your patterns is awesome! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely. very very impressive
ReplyDeleteA very fun design. You nailed their requirements!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute row! I did Row by Row last year and it was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI did Row by Row this year as well, and your row is so well designed. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love this, Cheryl. I love how you were able to perfectly incorporate what they wanted into your pattern. And how awesome that they are displaying your patterns with the row.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the design! The row looks wonderful, Cheryl!

It made me really curious to see the jets. The row turned out great Cheryl! I love the display with your patterns - you must get quite a kick out of seeing that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great row! Wish I lived closer. (I cannot drop in from Nova Scotia, lol)
