Hosting A Row Along
Hey Reader
I wanted my next email to you to be all about my new website but the redesign is taking a little longer than I expected. This is why I hired a pro to do it instead of pulling my hair out and having a breakdown too. As soon as it is ready I will let you know. In the meantime I have to keep plugging along.
I have taken on a new project for the blog and all of you. I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Seams to Be Sew annual row alongs but sadly Marian passed away earlier this year. Marian is one of the reasons I have branched out to doing more designing. Marian had started the process of this year's row along. You can read about the inspiration for this year's theme "Seaside Adventures" on her blog. We wanted to continue this year in memory of Marian but needed a host. So I stepped up to the challenge. So far so good but if you see me broken out in hives in September don't be shocked. lol
I know that a row along will be new for many of you so I wrote a blog post about the row along. It explains what a row along is, why you would want join us on the adventure, what we designers get out of the row along, and you get to meet most of the designers participating. I hope many of you will join us and make your own underwater themed quilt.
Talk soon!
