Isn't it funny how our brains work? If you think of a word like "coffee" your brain might come back with "beans" or "plantation" or "Juan Valdez." (I think there might even be a game like this... ???)
This morning on FB someone asked about nice quilt shops in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. YES! My favorite! The Bear Paw.
The Quilting Auntie and I would go there every time I went to Spokane to see her. Very nice shop.
I went out to the internet to grab the web address for the person inquiring....
What? Permanently Closed! Sad face.... It was the nicest shop!

| 2019 - Off to the Quilt Shop Our last excursion shortly before her passing. |
That set my heart to remembering ... all my trips to Spokane...
all the sewing sessions with the Quilting Auntie...
all the traveling to quilt shows...
even at the end of her days, we were talking quilting.
AND, when I blew up the internet picture ... I remembered Row-By-Row!
Be honest....how many Row-by-Row kits, instructions and license plates do you have tucked away somewhere?
Ok, I'll go first....
At least a few...and I even gave some away before I moved.
Pre-Pandemic when I'd travel for work...I'd be scouting out the quilt shops and bringing home Row-by-Row kits, patterns, etc.
They become UFOs and I think NOW is a good time to do something with them. Since my move to Quilt City, USA, I've had so much on my plate that I have not done a thing in the Studio.* I just can't get started. All my UFOs and projects seem so stale.
I found a good starting place! And it requires no trip to the quilt shop!
*I've been dealing with a medical issue that I hope is now behind me.
