It is 18 days into the new year and I thought we could all use a little help with our new years resolutions.
What does this have to do with a Blog Hop. you may ask.
Hop! Exercise! Get it?
Now I wouldn’t want any os us to over-do-it so for the next 11 days, HOP over to 2 different designers blogs to see how they are taking one of the rows from the All in a Row book and making it in their style of fabrics. Get up and do a little HOP before moving to the next blog post. Then start quilting along from Feb. 1st through March 15th. Now this is where the real exercise comes into play as you jump up and down when you become the winner of some great prizes! Okay, it is not the Publisher’s Clearinghouse or the Powerball, but who wouldn’t want to win books and patterns!! (prize details below)
Here is the schedule of the hop: Get ready Start Hopping!
Martingale & Moda have a super contest that will start as soon as this blog hop ends! Here’s a bit of info to peak your interest!

1. Buy the ‘Moda All-Stars All In A Row’ book.
2. Make your favorite row(s)
One row = one entry

I am so thrilled to have been a part of this book for so many reasons. But just wanted to tell you how special these designers are. All of their proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated to No Kid Hungry, an organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America. You can find more info about them here: https://www.nokidhungry.org
Thank you to Jennifer Keltner, Karen Burns and all the creative people from Martingale to make all this happen.
I will be back on Thursday to share with you my little project from the book as well.
Sounds like a great idea! When I first read on a blog about this hop a little bit ago, I immediately purchased the book knowing that I would love doing a quilt with rows. But according to your blog post, to participate I have to belong to facebook. I’m afraid that leaves me out unless there’s another way to enter my row pic. Lots of people read blogs and have their own, but not everyone wants to join facebook. Any solutions? thanks so much!
Deb,
We have created a way for you to enter without having to be on Facebook. Yes, email photos will be fine. E-mail submissions to service@shopmartingale.com The subject line should say All In A Row Quilt-along so they know to enter the pictures in the drawings.
Enjoy, Lissa
Than you, Lissa, so very much!!! NOW, I’m extra excited! 🙂
Do we have to wait until 2/1/16 to start sewing or can we start now. Three sisters will be participating. We are excited to be doing this together. Fabulous proceeds donation too.
