A little over a year ago, I was so pleased to be asked to be a part of this wonderfully fun project… a book that Moda & Martingale Publishers were planning called ‘Moda All-Stars All in a Row’. We were each asked to design a row & the book is filled with all those rows as well as wonderful ‘filler’ rows designed by Moda’s own Lissa Alexander.
I chose a spring theme & my row is called Garland Knot. I made mine from my Ambleside fabrics & it was so much fun to make!
A fun part about this blog hop - is that I also get to make someone else’s row… & I got to make the adorable row by Carrie Nelson… called Row Houses! This is Carrie’s row…
… & this is mine! (…in process!)
I’m making mine from my upcoming line, Bespoke Blooms, & I’ve made mine with three houses (or as my friend called them ‘beach houses’!) - so that I can finish it to fit on a smaller wall that leads to my kitchen area. That’s the fun of these rows & this book - is that you can make them to fit you (…&/or the person you want to make a special treat for!)
If you decide to play along with us… & make my row (Garland Knot) - or - if you decide to use any of my Moda fabric lines - Ambleside or Windermere - for your row quilt - be sure to share it & tag it on Instagram with #garlandknot, or #rowbyrowAmbleside, or #rowbyrowWindermere, or @brengr, (or you can email me (brendariddledesigns@comcast.net) a photo of your row(s) if you aren’t on Instagram) so that I will be sure to see it! Then on March 15, I will draw for a prize from all the entries! I can hardly wait to see what you do!
One of the very special things about this book is that all proceeds from the sale of the book are being donated to No Kid Hungry, an organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America. You can find more info about them here: https://www.nokidhungry.org
Also, just to hep you get started…. if you leave a comment to this post - I will be drawing the name from all comments & someone will win a copy of Moda All-Stars Row By Row! I will draw a name on Saturday, January 22 & send your book to you. (Please be sure that your comment is not listed as a ‘no-reply’ email listing! I need to be able to email you!)
Be sure to see all the other rows & the fun from the makers! Here is a schedule of the hop:
January 18: Brenda Riddle (here!) & Carrie Nelson
January 19: Corey Yoder & Janet Clare
January 20: Me & My Sister & Barbara Brackman
January 21: Pat Sloan & Edyta Sitar
January 22: Camille Roskelley & Kathy Schmitz

Love your block! It will be great fun following the Moda designers blog posts too.
These look so Springy! Get rid of the cold and bring on the flowers! Thank you! This should lift the Winter doldrums.
So looking forward to this! And I've been saving Ambleside for just the right project!!! Hope to get started soon!
I love the idea of a row book. I've not heard of this before. I also haven't appliquied before - but I think I could tackle a row.
Seeing your row makes me want to run out and get the book!
Love your fabric choices, and I must admit I haven't seen them...I need to get out more and shop! I'll be on the look out now and be sure to find my nearest dealer.

Love your Garland Knot! I didn't even think about the rows being done as individual little quilts. What a great idea!
This looks like a fun blog hop. I really like the appliqué on your row.
I was just at my local fabric shop and fell in love with some fabric packs called Windermere, seriously they have been calling me and calling me. Then I am kicking around and just blog hopping and on to yours I pop... must be a sign. I love every stitch of that fabric line to the point I might not be able to cut it.
Been waiting for this book for some time! Love your garland row and your lovely fabrics. (Enough "loves" for you?)
Brenda
Looks like a nice row by row quilt. Look forward to seeing more rows.
Adorable Garland Knot Row and it fits in nicely on the quilt. Eye appealing fabric adds to the charm.
Your row is very pretty. I am anxious to see the others in the blog hop.
I gave my niece a copy of the book for Christmas. Now I need one for myself, it wasn't easy to part with the first one.
With it being so cold in NY, your beach houses really warmed up my day! Love the colors.
I have been looking at this intriguing book for several weeks now. Thanks for the opportunist to win a copy!
HELLO, such lovely fabric collections! Thanks for sharing!

Those leaves are amazing, but I really like the photo with the crocuses! Winter have finally come to VA, but I am ready for Spring!
The whole quilt is tempting but I really like the idea of making one row as a small quilt for a small space. Your leafy garland is gorgeous!
Those little houses remind me of beach huts here in UK - such a beautifully designed and stitched strip too : )
