 Thank you for reading our newsletter! 

Row by Row Experience The Row by Row Experience kicks off on Tuesday, June 21st! Thousands of shops throughout the USA, Canada, and Europe are participating, and each shop has designed a custom "Home Sweet Home" themed row. Ours is a fun sandcastle we've named Beachfront Property! We'll have our free patterns available starting Tuesday, as well as kits (while supplies last!) for Beachfront Property. Another fun part of Row by Row is the collectible fabric license plates. We have TWO this year - Spoolin' Around, and Legal Stash! You can visit the participating shops and pick up their row patterns for free from 6/21/16 until 9/6/16. There are prizes for people who collect 8+ rows and combine them into a quilt the fastest. Check out the Row by Row website for info & participating shops! Row by Row rules state that you must come in person to receive a free pattern (or send a friend or loved one!) - we cannot email, mail, or post our pattern online until after November 2016. Here's to another fun summer and reason to visit shops!!

We Challenge YOU! Wow! What a great start to the StitchCraft Challenge! Don't know what the StitchCraft Challenge is? In a nutshell, we give you fabric and you make something with it! It's nearly that simple but we have all the details here. We've had quite a few folks sign up, but there is room for more! We're gathering great prizes again this year and will have our famous Celebration Tea on September 17 for all the participants! Please note, you must stop by to see the Challenge Fabric and sign up; we don't ship the it (although you can mail your finished entry to us if necessary). We hope to see you soon and can't wait to see what creations you come up with!

Simple Whatnots Club 5 The next installment of Kim Diehl's Simple Whatnots Club starts in July! Each month for 6 months participants receive a kit to make a complete small quilt - including the pattern and fabric for the front, back, and binding. This is always a popular club, and this is the last time the club will feature small quilts! (Starting in 2017 each month will feature blocks that get put together at the end to make one large quilt.) Find more information and sign up here!

What else is going on at StitchCraft?

We've been getting a lot of questions, and YES - we're getting ready to roll out our holiday fabrics and classes in July. Look for more information soon!

We have two new quilt classes this summer-

BQ3 is a beginner friendly quilt and is perfect for highlighting a special fabric with a slightly angled segment for big quilt fun!

Tammie will teach you a "sew" easy Buzz Saw block technique for sewing lots of perfect points without actually sewing any points!
