I’ve been really busy since we got back from our cruise!! First we had our annual local quilt show!
It was fun seeing the quilts and visiting the vendors with my dear bee friends!
I was well behaved and only purchased some gorgeous hand dyed wool pieces!
Our new local quilt shop here in Haymarket- “Oh Sew Persnickety”, is participating in this summer’s Row-By-Row Experience quilting activity.
I designed their Row By Row this year! Woo hoo!
The theme this summer is water. Most shops designs are all about the beach and ocean, so we wanted something different!
Our design is simple- four umbrellas in a row. Three standing in the traditional direction, but one upside down with a little bird perched on the handle.
After I put it all together, it really needed a little something MORE… so I added long tube-like silver beads sewn on randomly by hand.
It was just the right embellishment!
Yogi has finally stopped following us around all the time… and is back to normal!!
Oh, I participated in the Row by Row last summer. What fun to know who designed them and how and why! It's cute!

You're Row by Row looks great. Love the embellishment beads - they really finish it off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI love the umbrellas, Polly. They look great. Give Yogi a pat for me.
ReplyDeleteLove your row by row and the beads are a great idea! I'll have to remember that one. Always love the pictures of your Yogi. So cute!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, I like umbrellas. The little bird is a nice touch, too.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing each row.
Yogi is so pretty is that a Haveanese? I have been wanting a Haveanese puppy forever! mburnette912@bellsouth.net
ReplyDeleteLove the block you designed and will put Haymarket on my schedule for a day trip!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe row you designed is adorable! Love the little bird!
ReplyDeleteLove your umbrellas and the little bird on the handle!
ReplyDeletePoor little furbabies are so afraid we'll leave again after we get home. My poor Mr. Fang does that for several days after I've been gone--hardly lets me out of his sight! Love your row design.
ReplyDeleteI think Yogi is the cutest little dog!
ReplyDeleteI hit "Oh Sew Persnickety" on Day 1 of Row by Row and it is, undoubtedly, one of the best shops ever! Your row is great and I hope to have it made by weeks' end.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I went "rowing" this week and picked up your row from Oh Sew Persnickety! It's the row we are each working on now. She is learning to quilt with it! Fun design. Thanks! =)
