all in a row moda blog hop
Hi everyone and welcome to Anne and Laurie’s day on the Moda “All in a Row” blog hop! I’m not sure who at Moda decided how to assign teams, but when I heard I was partnered with Laurie from Minick & Simpson, I couldn’t have been happier. I have my own secret fan club for Minick & Simpson. I love everything they design, I buy their fabric and someday I’m going to applique one of Laurie’s beautiful quilts.
For this blog hop we were asked to make each other’s row from the new book “All in a Row”, using our own fabric. Let me show you my row from the book…
…and then I’ll show you Laurie’s row from the book. It’s what I call “sand pail heaven”…
Just so happens that I love sand pails and table runners. I decided to make use of both rows as a table runner!
I used mine in December and surrounded it with snowmen.
I’ll use my version of Laurie’s row for the 4th of July! I used Mistletoe Lane and Moda Basic Dots for some red and white fun. I can’t wait to get this quilted!
(I had a lot of help when I was trying to take this photo)…
What do I love the most about my new table runner? The stars made of wool!
I added a 3″ wide border to the row and I think I’ll use the red & white stripe from Mistletoe Lane as a bias binding.
I’m giving away two copies of this wonderful new book, so leave me a comment on this post and I’ll pick two random winners next week.
The REALLY big prizes will come from Martingale and Moda but you have to enter their contest to win! Here’s the link to the Facebook page that will tell you all about it. You’ll have to stitch up your own row or two, but I bet you were planning on doing that anyway.
“All in a Row” is a really fun book from a fun group of Moda designers. I hope you love it!

Both table runners are great ideas to add home decor & putting them in a quilt would be awesome also.

both table runners are great ideas to add home decor. I think your kitty is about ready to pounce on that mouse look-alike toy.

Cute, cute and more cute!!! The rows are fantastic. I’ll need to go through my fabric and get ready to sew. I’d just love to have a table runner or two made up with the snowmen and sand pail.

I absolutely love these two rows (I love red & white – one of my favorite combinations). The two of you paired was genius!
This is such a fun “blog hop” – I am always so impressed and inspired by all the creativity out there.
Thanks, Anne, for sharing this with us – so much fun!

Such good timing. My quilt club is doing a row by row exchange!!

The “rows” are adorable! I’m “itchin’ to get sewin’!”

Of course you had to have a helper…she’s checking that the sheep is behaving. Love the wool accent on your bucket. Also love the snowman row…would make a great runner.
Heather
I LOVE your snowman row! It’s the cutest one I’ve seen yet! What a good idea to make table runners and I never would have thought to use wool on a sand pail, hehe…fun!
Kathy H
Love your row….love all your patterns…would enjoy making this one. I think the sand pails would be a nice summer touch to decor…
Mary Salmon
Hi Anne! I love both examples but am partial to you’rs! Looks like a great book!
Janet Melanson
I love what you both did with your own rows and each others. A think a runner is the perfect way to showcase each of the rows from the row along.
Sandy A in St. Louis
Love your red and white version of the row! It will be perfect for the summer months!
Your “helper” looks quite intrigued with the wool sheep. Glad you shared the picture. :)
Laurel
I love your rows! Your work is always flawless and beautiful.

I love your Row! It’s so playful, friendly & colorful! I also followed the FB link and read about the Project & Contest Rules. Feeding needy children in the USA is a great cause. Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of the row by row book!

It’s been such fun to see one designer’s version of another designer’s row, particularly when disparate designers are paired. I truly love both your runners, bet you can hardly wait to use your summer one. Would be fun to win this book, thanks!
Tammy spencer
Really love your row and the pails are cute in red.
Teri Sinclair
I love your snowman row…I might have to make that row first if I win a book! Actually, I asked for this book for my birthday, so if I win the book, I can ask for your fabric instead! Beautiful and fun rows all around.
Carrie
I’m glad you liked the match-up. :)
Cathy
Thought this was just another quilt book, lovely to be sure, but probably not one to purchase. But now that I am reading the blog posts, seeing the different interpretations of the rows, I am inspired to make my own. Thank you all for sharing.
Amy
This is super cute! I am loving seeing all these rows!
Loris Mills
Your snowman row is lovely, especially in the sweet fabrics you chose. Very Bunny Hill :-) Love to your sweet helper there =^.^=
This is such a fun hop seeing all the designers blocks and their work with another designer’s row.
Leslie
Fingers are crossed here for a chance to win this awesome book!!!

Judi-I love using your row as a table runner. BTW. I do miss you sophisticated links, blues and grey for baby Quilts! Please design some more!

Your snowman row is my favorite! and I love the addition of the wool hearts to the sand buckets – great choice!
DeAnna Dodson
Awww, I love the red and white sand pails. Cute!
On the row you designed, I love how it’s Christmas colors, but very soft ones. So sweet. :D
sunny
Both runners are adorable! I love the additon of wool.
Patty
Doing a whole quilt with applique is intimidating but love your idea for table runners. Now I’m going to need that book!
Terri
I just love both your rows!! I have left over Mistletoe fabric from making all those cute monthly snowmen you generously gave free patterns to make. I will definitely be making these rows. Adorable!!
Vicky
I have the book, and the best part is the proceeds going to No Kids Hungry. Kudos to Moda for giving so much to others! You and Laurie hit a home run with your rows!
Amy L
Wow, I saw Laurie’s blue version of your snowmen and fell in love. The feeling is mutual for your red version of her sand pails! You two are the perfect pairing for this row along!
Rebecca
Oooooh… A fellow Minick and Simpson fan!!
Diane K.
Love, love, love the red and white! Also love the idea of the red stripe for binding! I think you’re my sister from another mother!!

What a great blog hop!!! I have loved each row I’ve seen so far!! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of the book!!!
Hildy
I really thought you’ll do pink buckets or pinwheels … how wrong I was! But as always your row is even more beautiful than i would have thought I love the classic red-white colors and the wool stars are perfect!
Joanne
Your snowmen are wonderful! I love your version of the sand pail row. Thank you for the chance to win.
Gloria
What a brilliant idea to remake the sandbuckets in Christmas fabrics. Perhaps the buckets have salt in them to deal with Wintry weather!
Love your row too. Thank you for the chance to win.
Colleen Reilly
I love your row and the sand pail row you made and that cat what a fine helper
