Row by Row by Sue
Trying to post – it’s been awhile, so here goes.
Here are the two Row by Row’s that I designed for this year.
The first is “At Home Under the Sea” for At Home Quilting
And second is “A Deerfield Notion” for A Notion to Quilt
It’s been awhile!
Hi everyone – thought I’d caught up with all of you after a long hiatus. Been busy with new patterns since I wrote last and wanted to pass them along here. All the patterns are made with simple piecing, and raw edge, fusible web, machine applique!
So, I’m starting off with the “Moon Lake” series . . . . . Moon Lake, Night Owl & Summer Moon. One larger quilt pattern and two small ones, and of course they have all may favorite components, lakes, mountains, trees, critters AND Adirondack chairs!
THEN I also have the “Snow Birds” collection.
Snow Birds being the largest of the three, then Winter Retreat & For the Birds.
AND then there’s another “LADY” pattern – this one has three patterns in one, called “The Witchy Ladies”, with Witches Brew, Crystal Ballroom, AND Magic Hats. As a companion pattern, I’m also offering “Scaredy Cats & Boo Hoots”. A pattern with two smaller wall hangings – All easy with simple piecing and fusible web machine applique.
Until next time – Sweet Seasons to all of You!
Back Up North at Country Girl Quilt Shop
Yes, I went Back Up North to Chestertown, NY to Country Girl Quilt Shop where the quilters made Back Up North! Sweet quilt shop! And in case you haven’t been there yet, I took some pictures of the shop to give you an idea of what you’re missing! 
First off, the original shop was located on a side street just off Main, but now Nanci (owner) bought an old Main street home, rebuild it from top to bottom, inside and out, AND it’s gorgeous! Take a look . . . .
We’ll start with the sign, then the front of the shop . . . .
and now, moving inside, all these great room, lots of light, and of course, lots of everything quilters love – fabrics, notions, patterns, etc., etc.
AND here are three of the quilters that were making Back Up North this weekend. (two of them were with us for only a one day class – I’ll have to get their photos another time!)
First up is Sue – who is now a believer in Free Motion Quilting! You go Sue!
Next up is Rosemary – first time making a “large” project, and did great! (She’s normally a “bag” lady)
And Rosemary’s friend – Kathie! Also a newbie to this type of quilting.
BTW – BOTH Rosemarie and Kathie CAN do free motion quilting now – they had doubts, but no longer, they’re believers AND did a great job!
So, I’m signing off – must get ready another weekend – so stay tuned, more to come!

Pumpkin Patch workshop with Back Up North and More
Friday and Saturday of this past week, I headed east on Route I90 to the quaint little village of Lee, Massachusetts. This village is sooooo cute, and so New England! It’s just off of I90 in the western part of the state, and only 1 hour & 10 minutes from me! 
AND the best part is that Lee has a Quilt Shop! Always a plus for us quilters. Susan and Dan have a great classroom where six quilters can spread out at their own table, and of course they can check out the new arrivals when I allow them a quick break! LOL
So anyway, we did have a full class and we had a combination of projects going on. Back Up North, Over East, Up North, and some Show & Tell! Which I’ll show and Share here!
First is Lainie who made two of the Over East scenes, Out to Sea, and Sandpipers on Parade – She sure did LOTS of quilting on each of these! They look great!
Next up is Nancy – first with a Show and Share of a previous class project (all Nancy needs to do for “Snowy Hideaway” is “make it snow”)
And here’s the one she was working on in class – “Up North” (love the “fall” colors!)
Next up is Paula with “The Lakehouse” – The scene turned out GREAT! (also love the fabric choices)
And here is Stephanie – first with “Up North” from a previous class AND I didn’t get a photo of her “Mud Season” which she was working on in class, along with another one – so, next time, Stephanie!
Check out her Porch Railing Quilt & Geraniums!
OK, next is Joann – she got a great start on her “Over East”, don’t you think?
One to go – and it’s Alice! She also made The Lakehouse! Love the “greens” in her scene!
And there we have it, another successful workshop in a great little Quilt Shop! Be sure to visit And maybe I’ll see you there!

Back Up North at Log Cabin Fabrics
A few weeks back I met with Barbara And Laura at Log Cabin Fabrics, helping them “put together” Back Up North. Log Cabin put the fabric kits together, and Barb & Laura put the scenes together! FUN!
They almost had the scene complete in this two day class – just about all the pieces added and quilted too! Can you spot the jumping trouts?
First up is Barbara
And here is Laura
What did I tell you – almost finished! a bit more tweaking, add the binding, and DONE! 
Sew, till next time . . . .
Quilters AND a new quilt shop in Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY
I traveled “down” along the Hudson River yesterday to hang out with 14 quilters in Cornwall, NY. They were making my “Over East” combo pattern, and even though it was a one day class, they all made Great headway.

First up is Carol, and for some reason the picture was cut off with another one. Sorry Carol, but I still wanted to include you!

Next up is Diana – and even though she had to leave early, she had A LOT finished

Pumpkin Patch and Up North (& more)
I traveled to Lee, MA a few weeks back and taught another weekend class at Pumpkin Patch Quilt Shop! I know you’ve heard me mentioned this shop before! It’s a cute little quilt shop in a cute little New England village that you should visit sometime! Be sure to plan on having lunch at one of the many eateries in the village, they’re all great! 
The weekend class was open to anyone wanting to make or finish any of my patterns. Some quilters made Up North, one was working on Snowy Hideaway, and another making Sandpipers on Parade. The girls accomplished a lot in the two days (some were only there for one day, and still got a lot done!)
And here they are . . . .
First up is Joan with her “Up North”
Next is Sarah with “Lakeside Retreat” from my “Up North” series . . . .
Then Nancy decided to work on “Snowy Hideaway”, and added quite a bit in just one day! (there’s a lot of pieces in Snowy Hideaway)
Next up is Cathy with her full size ‘”Up North” (also a lot done for only one day, don’t you think?) . . . .
and last, but not least is Liz with her “Sandpipers on Parade”, a great one day project. Liz will be adding the other three scenes of “Over East” at home!
And another successful day at Pumpkin Patch!
Till next time . . . . .
