Once again, the Moda designers and Martingale have combined creative forces to bring you ‘All in a Row’ volume 2- a book packed with original and fun ideas for row- by- row quilts!

My row was inspired by the two beautiful Oak trees we have growing in our back garden (that sentence conjures up images of vast rolling acres, doesn’t it? So not the case!).

The trees provide shade and shelter for so many birds, bugs and bats and are such a pleasure to live alongside in our busy, town garden.

  1. We don’t have oaks in our yard. But there is an elm, an alder and four volunteer dogwoods that I love dearly. Their presence means “shade garden” for me, and it’s fun discovering plants that require little full sun.

  2. How lovely, all your designs are beautiful! We are fortunate to have an oak tree in our garden and we also have a large Monkey Puzzle tree.

  3. I always enjoy reading your modest comments about where you live and your business. You are a superstar! Love your work!

  4. I love your row! We have 1/2 acre of woods and I’ve identified 6 different types of oaks on our property. My favorite trees!

  5. What a beautiful inspiration! I also have property with trees and beauty which inspire me. Thank you for having this giveaway!

  6. The Row by row has taken a while to land in my list of to-do but now that it’s here, I’m really excited. Thanks for the opportunity!

  7. I love trees and Autumn is my favorite time of the year…except that I have to spend time away from quilting to clear all of those beautiful falling leaves!

  8. Thanks for the chance to win the ebook. I loved the first row-by-row (once I got the corrected copy) and can’t wait to see the new one.

  9. I love trees – and this oak tree applique is lovely! The blog hop is a great intro to the Row by Row experience.

  10. I have not participated in a row by row but would like to start and it looks like this book would be wonderful to start with.

  11. Love your apron pattern, made my local quilt shop order it for me so I could make it. Would love to win A copy of “All In A Row Again”

  12. We also have a huge oak tree at each end of our house. I love them! A little less right now as the ground is covered in both acorns and tons of leaves needing to be raked.

  13. Trees!! I adore trees and leaves – and most of my xmas decorations are trees, including table runners. Thx for the chance to win!

  14. I am so glad I found this fun post from BUnny Tales and now will once again be able to hop to so many amazing web sites and see what everyone is up to now.

  15. I love any pattern that incorpoates a tree and/or house. You row is great. I hope to win this. I enjoy all your fabrics and patterns. Thanks.–Robin 🙂

  16. Janet, your Oak tree is beautiful. Indeed it’s always such a pleasure to relish time in the garden, or under a lovely Oak or other greenery. Thank you for sharing.

  17. Your trees sound lovely (except for the bats) and I like your applique version! I made your Bunny Playdate row from the first book into a table runner.

  18. I would love to win a copy of this book! Your design is so beautiful, I can already picture using this special fabric I have. Thank you so much for sharing!

  19. I would love to win the All In A Row Again Book. I love your oak trees as they remind me of the beautiful Live Oak trees that grow where I grew up in Chico, CA. This will definitely be one of my first rows.

  20. Having a couple of trees is probable just enough! We have lots of birds, bats, bugs and LEAVES. They are hard to keep up with now that it’s fall, and they’re falling. Love the new book. Row quilts are fun.

  21. We have three mature trees that I love in our yard. This time of year I don’t feel the love when I’m raking the leaves.

  22. I grew up with a yard full of oaks, right outside my bedroom window. I loved waking up to the view, and now my adult bedroom window looks out on our little woods in the backyard! What a super Row!

  23. I love all kinds of trees. We have 3 acres of wooded property and it is fun to see all the different critters that come and go!

  24. Love most trees, especially oaks. So big and majestic. I am beginning to really like this book and considering on making a quilt with the rows!

  25. I love your row and your style of quilting, in general. I’m signing up for your email list and looking forward to the inspiration that comes my way!

  26. Love your trees. We do live among trees. We cleared enough to build our house in deep East Texas. Can’t have enough trees. My husband doesn’t especially like all the leaves he rakes though. 🙂 I also love your entire row.

  27. Love the banner at the top of your page! Thank you for this opportunity to win a great book. Would love to make a row quilt, they look fun.

  28. What a fun project! Your block is lovely (I am a fan of oak trees – had a 120 yr old tree in my front yard. Oh, how I miss its shade now that is has gone over the rainbow to join my puppy who loved to rest against its trunk …)

  29. I’d love to win this book and get more ideas of how to put my 2017 rows together. PLUS try out these new rows!

  30. Love the inspiration behind your row…..and can’t wait to win a copy of the book!!! (positive thinking and crossed fingers!)

  31. I love trees, especially oaks – lucky you to have them in your garden. Have been wanting to make a ‘row’ quilt and your pattern would be a perfect addition!

  32. I love the Oak tree- a nice change from the pine trees . We have an oak tree in the front yard- just one. I enjoy the idea of row by row quilts and this one looks like a winner. Thanks

  33. Love your oak tree!! I also have two in my yard. The one up against our house is about 300 yeanrs old. If I dont win I will have to get this book for your oak tree ideas! What a great cause to support as well!

  34. I haven’t tried a “row” quilt before but all of the great contributions by the designers are making me think that 2018 would be a great time to try one out.

  35. Love the book. Love your row. Love trees. They inspire day dreaming, protection, climbing, games & of course filter our air. I have the first book & look forward to this one.

  36. I love your oak tree row. And what a great place to support: Give Kids the World. Thanks for the chance to win an ebook copy of All In A Row Again. This one is just as much fun as the first All In A Row. 🙂

  37. I’ve never done a row by row quilt and this looks like a wonderful way to get a new quilt and help others too. Well done!

  38. WOW! I’m so excited… my first year with the Row by Row to help kids… I knew after reading about you Janet Clare that you would have something picked that would be specific to your personal memories… and I think it’s awesome! It gives me insight to look at me & my surroundings and see what I can that inspires me to make the things I do for my family… and I love the oak tree!!! Congrats…

  39. The book looks interesting. I am enjoying this blog hop. The proceeds of the book sale are going to a great cause.

  40. What a lovely row you have designed.

    The birch trees on my way home from quilt group are especially colourful this year.

  41. I love big mature trees. My boyfriend has an oak on his front lawn but it’s not quite to the ‘towering’ stage yet. Your oak row is fantastic.

  42. Your tree has me thinking of nests, tire swings, tree houses, hammocks…laying on the grass under the branches and watching the leaves rustle in the breeze. Thanks!

  43. Your inspired oak tree block is wonderful! I live in the country surrounded by hundreds of oaks & other trees. Brings pleasure to every single day watching nature’s activities amidst the wooded acreage.

  44. I love Oak trees, they seem to be like an umbrella that covers what’s underneath. This book sounds amazing, I know it’s filled with so much to try. Thanks for the chance.

  45. When I was little, my dad had nursery stock around our house. I remember spending hot, summer days in their shade and imagining what the trees would look like fully grown.

  46. I’ve always wanted to do a row quilt. I love your block. Living in southern Louisiana we have a lot of beautiful old oak trees. Thanks for the giveaway.

  47. I have learned in the Splendid Sampler that there is no wrong way, to pick or choose or make your blocks, and there is no time limit… I tried to push my way thrubit, but only frustrated myself, and almost chunked the whole thing, when finally I just decided to just do my regular things, sew blocks for Sampler as I could, and then go on from there… Then I gained my excitement back again!! If I hadn’t had so many things I wanted & needed to do, or if I sat at my machine all day every day, I could have done it… but that isn’t me… and I had to find myself before I could find the Sampler Blocks within me!! Thank you Janet Clare for your design in Aurifil & the Splendid Sampler! We were all Blessed. And yes, I will finish all 100 plus of mine also!

  48. I love your comments about your oak tree and all of the things that live in and around it. We live in the country with many trees in our yard. I feel so blessed to be able to enjoy the trees and the animals that make them their homes.

  49. It truly is amazing how fabric & individual piece placement changes the look of a block; that is what is so intriguing about making quilts. Can’t wait for your Geometry fabric!
