All in a Row Blog Hop & Giveaway

First of all, thank you all so much for all of your wonderful comments on my blog post last week!  I appreciated so many of you taking the time to share your thoughts.  I responded to each one of you and it was such fun.

I was not surprised to hear that many of you enjoy reading blogs, especially on Friday evenings or over morning coffee.  What did surprise me was how many of us are not on Instagram, Facebook or other social media spots.  It’s understandable as we only have so many hours during the day and we need to be careful where we spend our time!

With that being said, I am excited to once again be blogging in this space.  I have so many things that I want to share: my new sewing space, new fabric lines,  new patterns…so many new things.

Today, I want to talk a little bit about the All in a Row Again book that was just released this fall.  You might remember the first All in a Row Book…you can read more about that book here if you’re interested.   Well, this is the follow up book–so you now have double the rows to mix and match to your heart’s content.  Each row finishes at the same length but they vary in width(height) so you can really customize your quilt by picking your favorite rows.  All of the rows are designed by Moda fabric designers or familiar faces.

 

I was excited to see my Springtime row featured front and center on the cover.  We never know what the cover will look like until the book is printed so it’s always fun to see the reveal.  Martingale ran a contest and allowed readers to vote on the cover for this book & I was excited when this cover was chosen.  Here’s a peek at the other option:

There are so many great rows in this book–here are a couple of my favorites:

This one by Brenda Riddle is so cute!

This one is by Sherri McConnell.  I always enjoy her quilt designs–and oh my goodness, have you guys seen her upcoming Moda Fabrics line?  If not, you need to check out here.  I really like how well Sherri & Chelsi’s lines of fabric play with mine so I’m always excited to see what they have coming up.

And this last row is by Jo Morton.  Jo & I had wonderful conversations at Quilt Market last month.  She is a wealth of information about hand quilting and you all know I love some hand quilting.  We had a very in depth discussion about batting–every hand quilter needs to have a good batting!  I love the design of Jo’s row:

On to the giveaway part! (this was another thing I missed about blogging–sharing these fun giveaways with you!):  Martingale is providing one of my readers with a free E-book version of All in a Row Again.  To enter, just leave a comment below with what you really enjoy reading about on a blog.  Is it behind the scenes, quilt alongs, helpful tips, fabric information….what do you love to read about?  I’ll draw a winner next week.

Also, be sure to visit Pat Sloan & Janet Clare as they share about their rows today.  And for more giveaways follow the All in a Row Facebook page.

I plan to be back next week talking about all things Flower Mill—the fabrics, the patterns, my favorite prints from the collection, which prints I bought bolts of.  You won’t want to miss it!

Have a beautiful week!

    I so love reading a behind the scenes! Late fabric purchases and sewing rooms. Quilt along are fun too. Thanks for the chance.xxx

  2. Lou says:

    I enjoy seeing the same blocks done in different color ways, how others choose their colors and values, etc. I like to see color as a tool rather than a trend. I seldom purchase fabric due to financial constraints and I look for sustainable color and design when I when I do. I thought you would like to be aware that I have invested in your last three lines exclusively for that reason——- thank you!

  3. Christi says:

    I love seeing new fabrics, new ways to do things, new tools and lots of tips. No politics, keep it all positive we are all here to support and learn.

  4. Julie A. says:

    I really enjoy seeing different blocks and colors come together, colors I never would have thought of putting together. I also love peeking into quilt rooms to get ideas on how to store fabric.

  5. Susan says:

    I really enjoy tutorials for quilts. The nearest quilt shop to me is 1 1/2 hrs away. I’ve never been able to get away to take a class so I love and am so thankful for blogs that offer tutorials. Thanks for the chance to win!

  6. Pat H. says:

    I would love to hear about how you design a fabric line…do you just start doodling? Do you have to use colors that are in the same family as your previous lines or can you do something totally unexpected just because you feel like it? Are you expected to design so many lines in a time period? How long from the time you think of a design until the bolt of fabric arrives in stores? Sorry for so many questions…I have an inquisitive nature.😊. And behind the scenes looks at Market and free tutorials are always appreciated, too! Have a great day!

  7. Bi love hearing about behind the scenes! Always fascinated about the creative process!

  8. Little Quiltsong says:

    I especially enjoy the bigger (& more) pictures bloggers are able to share on their blog, and the detailed stories behind it all. Then – also the sidebars, where items are archived – and where I also find other favorite blogs that this blogger might follow! Thank you for this giveaway – and that you are back to blogging again :)!

  9. Pam Eckert says:

    This is my first blog to follow and I am loving it. I’m fairly new to quilting so I am now intrigued to purchase this book and challenge myself with something new. Hopefully there will be some tips and tricks on hand quilting as I am currently hand quilting a wall hanging before taking on a quilt.

  10. doris st.clair says:

    I love to read and see your information on new fabric , not only yours but the mixing of yours with others. Can’t wait to see all the new patterns and fabric lines. There just not enough hours in the day. Also thoughts and info on your big stitch. Thanks for blogging.

  11. Ruth says:

    I like to see small project ideas for inspiration. Also enjoy two color versions of a project. I always like to see decorating ideas using our quilts.

  12. Mary Nell Maule says:

    I love getting new ideas! I rarely (or maybe never!) follow instructions completely, but blogs and books get my creative juices going.

  13. Sally Borland says:

    I enjoy reading about anything and everything related to quilting! Your design process and inspiration, your sewing space, what you’re working on, all of it! Love the look of the book and will be adding it to my library 😁

  14. Chris says:

    Blogs are a way to see how the new fabric lines and patterns are being used. I also like the quilt alongs when they are shared in weekly steps so I can keep up with the group.

  15. Liz Horgan says:

    I love quilt alongs–I feel it keeps me moving along on a quilt. It’s just tough when I have a few going at the same time!

  16. Julie L. says:

    I love reading about new fabrics as well as helpful tips.

  17. Becky says:

    It is nice to read about the fabrics, quilt blocks and quilt tips. I really enjoy Moda’s blog with all the info about quilts, fabrics, the designers and of course the new books and notions and patterns. Really enjoyed following the blockheads and seeing all the fabrics and colors.

  18. Mary says:

    I think I like everything about reading the blog, but my favorite is probably looking at color and fabric combinations in designs. I am inspired by the creative combinations of others!

  19. Joyce Carter says:

    I love your row! Congratulations.
    I love reading about quilts and seeing pictures of them in progress. I also love reading about the fabrics that were used.

  20. neena simmons says:

  25. Ruth Kennedy says:

    I love reading about upcoming ideas

  26. Sharon says:

    What a blessing to have such an inspiration right in our own community! Thanks, Corey, for adding such color and beauty to the quilting world. Your online presence….blog, Facebook, etc. is always an encouragement to get back into ongoing projects or jump into something new. Many thanks!

  27. nancy seitz says:

    I love to read tips and about what the blogger is sewing.

  28. Carolyn Sands says:

    I love reading blogs to see what’s new and I almost always learn something. Thanks for a chance at a great giveaway too!

  29. Jilann says:

    New to quilting. Blogs offer so many tips and product information.

  30. Linda Witt says:

    Always interested in anything about fabric. I love reading different designers offering tips. They have experienced far more than me in our quilting world. Please keep them coming.

  31. Jean says:

    There isn’t a single thing that I look for in a blog. But I do enjoy the personal sharing by the authors.

  32. peggy hendrick says:

    I love the tips and techniques…and reading about different product info…

  33. Heather says:

    I love seeing what people are working on as it always provides inspiration. And I often go to blogs for tutorials on quilting techniques or to join in a sew-along.

  34. Kathy says:

    I like reading blogs to find out what’s new. The book looks great. Thanks for the giveaway chance.

  35. Sarah says:

    I love hearing about what inspired fabric designs and patterns. I also love seeing pretty pictures.

  36. Cathy B. says:

    I enjoy quilt alongs and tutorials that offer more depth than social media can provide. Personally I find the volume of things shared on Instagram overwhelming, because it’s easy to send a quick pic. Multiply that by several designers you may follow and it’s just too much!

  37. One of the things I look for in blogs that I follow are brilliant photos and fun things that catch my eyes. And of course the quilting tips and quilt alongs are fun bits too.

  38. Gisela Buitendag says:

    I love quilt alongside and behind the scenes information. I get so much inspirations from reading the blogs!

  39. Linda Williamson says:

    I love seeing the quilt alongside together. I also like reading the tips and tutorials.

  41. Allison Evrard says:

    I really like to read helpful hints and tips on various blogs. I can honestly say I have gotten some amazing ideas this way.

  42. Jody Randall says:

    I enjoy everything about a blog. There’s more time to share projects, sewing rooms and tips.

  43. Tonia Conner says:

    I too like to read about behind the scenes, new fabric and maybe a new pattern besides a quilt. Sewing room ideas and tips are great too. I realize this is a business for most of you, but a change up is nice from time to time to keep us from getting board. Some of us can’t get out and the Blog world is our friend and neighbors. Not talking about anyone in particular. I thank you for asking.

  44. Lori J Smith says:

    I enjoy reading about other quilters to get inspiration for my quilts, and learn about great tips for improving my quilting.

  45. Robbin says:

    I enjoy reading about what inspires you to create. Tips, tricks and helpful hints are always useful. I am a self taught quilter. I have never had a formal class. Blogs, videos and books have been my main source of learning. So glad you’ve decided to blog again. Thanks!

  46. Glenda McCarthy says:

    I love the personal touches of a blog. I learn a lot of tips and techniques, but seeing a bit of the writer and their life adds so much to it. I think I’d like to make your rows for springtime table runners.

  47. Becky Turner says:

    I enjoy reading what went right and what went wrong when in the creative process. Helps give perspective to my own creative efforts. And I do not Facebook, twitter or Instagram.
    I do do a cup of tea and a vist with good frends each morning.

  48. wannajava says:

    I enjoy reading everything about quilting, fabrics. All the tips and tutorials. I learn so much and get inspiration and just enjoy it all.
    djcutting2(at)gmail(dot)com

  49. Tips always inspire me to try a new technique or revisit a pattern that I thought was too difficult. I also like to see what the bloggers are working on, their personalization of old favorites and development of new patterns.

  50. Laura Davis says:

    I love getting new tips. Sometimes the simplest thing can make life so much easier!

  51. jrp53 says:

    My favorite thing about blogs is learning from others that is more than one way to make a block and I love learning what inspires quilters. I really like sharing in the design process and color theory from so many sources. Shortcuts and storage solutions are also right up there. What’s NOT to like about reading blogs?

  52. JoAnne Murphy says:

    I just found this blog site. Its great! I love vintage campers and the row x row featured on your new book with the tiny camper looks a lot like the Scotty camper that I have. Thanks for the cheer this morning!

  53. Karen B says:

    I enjoy picking up tips and getting ideas for using up my fabric stash. I also enjoy seeing the new fabric lines as they become available.

  54. Judy Gelhaus says:

    The inspiration I receive from reading others ideas, experiences, etc keeps me moving forward in my quilting life! I love it all!

  55. Ann West says:

    Tips are a great way to inspire one to learn new things and become more creative. Thanks.

  56. Darlene B says:

    I reading about the new fabrics, quilt patterns, and also the behind the scenes stories. Thanks for the chance to win a copy.

  59. Verna A. says:

    I love everything about blog hops!

  62. Anne says:

    I like seeing quilt designs and colour combinations – such a great way to get inspiration!

  63. Lynn says:

  64. Tracey says:

  65. Shelly Z says:

    I enjoy blogs with lots of photos of quilts including close-ups of the quilting for inspiration. I love seeing new fabrics and quilt patterns.

  66. Susan says:

    I live in an area with NO quilt shops so I learn about new fabrics and products on blogs. I just love all the ideas and inspirations that are shared. Show and Tell is wonderful and that’s what I get from the blogs. Thanks for sharing.

  67. Sharon w says:

    I enjoy reading about what is going on in the blogger’s life. I also like tips and what’s new.

  68. KJ says:

    Thank you for the insight about the cover choice, and congratulations on having a row featured.
    I like a blog that is varied. I get bored if I always see, “look what I did”. I like to see a little of the blogger’s life, not an intrusive amount, but show me your 4 legged companion if you have one, let me go for a walk in the forest with you, etc. I do appreciate tutorials, though, as there are many ways to accomplish the same thing. Sometimes one way just doesn’t work for someone.

  69. Gina M. says:

    I enjoy the behind-the-scenes information and tips and all of the information about new fabric and patterns. I have a tendency to use similar colors and styles in my quilts so it’s great to see the infinite variety of quilts and projects out there. It inspires me to try new things and keeps me from falling too deeply into a rut.

  70. Nancy McFall says:

    I love to hear about an author’s quilting life/journey. What they love to do, how they do it, what problems they encounter etc. As though I’m reading something written by a friend of mine.

  71. Susan says:

    As a beginner quilter, I enjoy tutorials and tips and tricks. I also like a sense of humor in the writing. I also I don’t need to see a post every day, especially if it is just “this is what I did”.

  72. Ann Weber says:

    I love reading about things behind the scenes; starting with your designing process (quilts or fabric) to the final project. Love your flowering row!

  73. Carol Nelms says:

    I like hearing about your fabric and use of color, thanks for sharing and the giveaways!

  74. CHRISTINE ELKIN says:

    I love the sneak peeks and tips and tricks. Plus it seems more personal.

  75. Nancy says:

    I tend to love reading the behind the scenes stuff. It makes me feel I know the blogger better.

  76. Lisa Barlow says:

    Love all the inspiration i receive when reading blogs. I especially enjoy learning about tips, tools and shortcuts!

  77. Lori Butler says:

    On a blog I like to read about everything you listed…behind the scenes, quilt alongs, helpful tips, fabric information and I also like tutorials and free patterns. Plus, on my favorite quilting blog, I like seeing what is happening in her life. The blogs I like the least are the same thing over and over…this is my new fabric and this is what I made…over and over. Thanks for the chance to win!

  78. Lee Ann L. says:

    I love it when I read the real life problems of quilting, sewing, and more. Not everything comes out perfectly sometimes. I also like seeing tidbits of personal lives as they help me get to know the bloggers themselves. I love seeing finished projects. Basically, I like most things. 🙂

  79. BrendaLou Scott says:

    I love a back story. The why’s, the whos, the history. I love a personal touch. I like pictures but not 20! I love to hear inspiration and even wrong turns and how to avoid them
    Great blog, btw.
    BrendaLou

  80. Karen Bergt says:

    On a blog I like to read about the life of the quilter/designer. How they live there Day to day lives as well as learning more about their quilting process and techniques.

  81. Jayne says:

    I like reading about new lines of fabric and new patterns. I like getting quilting tips and shortcuts. I also like reading about everyday life and the stories behind a quilt.

  82. judireiss says:

    It is such fun seeing how each of us combines the rows to her(his) own quilt or hanging.

  83. MARY D says:

    I love seeing other’s creative journeys when reading blogs. I love seeing new inspiration and new fabrics and new quilt patterns and QAL and quick tips and different ways to do things. I am one of those not on IG and I do not use FB for crafting info at all.

  84. Joann N says:

    Sometimes seeing a quilt in a different color way will totally change your desire to make that quilt. Funny how color makes so much difference in how we perceive patterns and blocks.

  85. Marsha Sensel says:

    I love to read (and see pictures of) people’s work spaces. Also like to hear about new techniques.

  86. Debbie Miller says:

  87. Hanke says:

    I love to see all the different quilts and tips and spaces 😊

  88. Hildy says:

  89. Kristen says:

    This is my first time on your blog, but I love seeing others quilting ideas!

  90. Liz Engman says:

    My favorite part of a quilting blog post is the step-by-step process in both designing and making a block or a complete quilt. I also appreciate examples of different colorways. Love your scrappy flowers!

  91. Ruth Bullock says:

    Love getting new ideas for quilts, and tips along the way.

  92. Elizabeth Bolton says:

    I love being surprised by what a blogger writes about – I am curious about people in general, so whatever is shared interests me. Thx for participating!

  93. Judy Casteel says:

    I just like to read anything and everything about quilters and what they are doing. I especially enjoy hearing about when things don’t go quite the way the quilter planned and how they coped (or did not cope) with that event. Sometimes I feel like everyone else has the perfect quilting experiences and I am the only one who messes up from time to time, so it makes me feel good to know that even the great quilters have their moments of frustration.

  94. cindy wisherd says:

    I really love to see quilters different color combos, and new twists on classic blocks. Also pics of quilters sewing rooms.

  95. Marcia Gilbreath says:

    I love tutorials and free patterns–I think we all do!

  96. Susan S says:

    I like learning the backstory stuff, getting to know the bloggers and their inspiration for what they do… and then of course seeing the projects they’re working on is fun too. And tutorials and patterns are a bonus!

  97. Elizabeth Snead says:

    I love reading about Contests and Freebies! Thanks for the opportunity to learn about new products and possibly win them!

  98. Elizabeth McDonald says:

    I love quilt alongs and I also enjoy progress photos on long term quilts; it is a nice reminder that quilts grow slowly, and with lots of snags and changes on the way! I also love tutorials. I have to admit, I also love to see a snippet of favorite quilters’ lives as well as their thoughts on quilting in general….

  99. Kathy says:

    I like reading how quilters overcome problems they run into. Gives me hope that I can fix the stupid things I can sometimes do

  100. nanbon says:

    I must admit I have not been to any of my favorite blogs in such a long time… I really enjoyed reading them and then so many went away…. I hope the trend is bringing back the bloggers so I can once again spend a few times a week catching up on all the new ideas that are shared…. oh and the giveaways are one of the best parts of any blog…

  101. Marcia F. says:

    I love all of the shared quilting information.

  102. Cheryl Harrod says:

  104. Joane says:

    Luv your color combinations and energies. Fun to keep learning how you create and seeing finished projects you sew inspires!

  105. Ashley says:

    I love behind the scenes and helpful tips!

  106. Kathy Leake says:

  107. Rommy says:

    I like Tips and tricks. . Helpful Tips are always welcome

  108. Sandy May says:

  118. Shasta says:

    It is the quilting and other art that encourages me to subscribe, but the reason I stay varies. The reason I read blogs varies depending on the blog. For some, I like to see all the creative projects they come up with, with others, I like to see what living in another part of the country is like, for others, I just like to see how the person is doing.

  119. Katie Peterson says:

    I love the fabric info, seeing how it’s used gives me great insight into how it’ll look in a quilt I do. I’ve always wanted to do a QAL but never actually jumped in and tried one.

  120. Lois Capper says:

    Love to read about new patterns , fabrics and quilting tips on a blog

  121. Susan Salo says:

  127. Trudy Keller says:

    I like to read about tips and also see new fabric lines.

    I’m not on Facebook or Instagram, either, so I really like the blogs.

  129. MoeWest says:

    Everything I know about quilting was learned online or from books. I love reading blogs for inspiration and tutorials. I like to see where people sew, what’s new in their stash and what they are working on. I’m glad you will be blogging again! Instagram isn’t enough for me. I need the words to go with the pictures.

  141. Teresa Gottwig says:

    I enjoy reading about the inspiration and details behind projects the person is working on. Also if you design patterns it allows for expanding on ideas you can’t put down in the pattern. Plus it’s just a great way to get to know someone with a similar interest as you.

    Tips!!!! Love reading about new tips and techniques.

  224. 2nana50 says:

    Ok, you asked what do we like about the blogs??? My answer is this, I like learning about the creators… where you get your ideas, what makes you tick… what inspires your creativity… it inspires me, to look closer at myself, to see what I miss or “am catching” to drive my own creativity and push to get things done! To see who you are. It’s like learning about your best friend… the ones that sets the cloth, writes the books, & puts the patterns in your hands, to give you a part in this wonderful creativity gift! Can’t get much better that that!
    Thanks again Corey!
