So Excited!!!
This year,
Aunt Judy's Attic
is participating
in the
Row by Row Experience 2019
Taste the Experience!
As we thought about this year's theme, Taste the Experience, one thing we all agreed on was chili was the main part of our way of life... Even between the neighboring states; Arizona, Colorado, Texas - our New Mexico Chili Cuisine just 'tastes' different. And for us over here in the southwest, chili is a food staple that is consumed daily!
For our row this year, we decided to make a New Mexico Chili Ristra.

A chili ristra is an arrangement of drying chili pepper pods to be used later in cooking.
They are said to bring good health and good luck.
They are often used for decoration by hanging them outside.
A chili ristra is a decorative trademark in the state of New Mexico.
A chili ristra is typically constructed with corn husk strings tied to the matured chili pod stem to hold them together.
Our pattern is laid out on a "Short and Sassy" - 27" x 12" vertical layout. We chose to display the chili ristra hanging against an adobe building (which is a mud-like brick made from earth and organic materials such as sand, silt, clay, straw or even dung).
For the row display, I made it look as if the chili ristra was hanging from vigas or rafters and tied with corn husk.

This year, we have chosen to make fabric kits of the Chili Ristra. Fabric kits with a free pattern will be available starting June 21st. Stop by Aunt Judy's Attic or pre-order your kit online (to be mailed November 1st). The pre-order date starts on June 21st.
Check back here on June 21st for the link to pre-order.

Not sure what the Row By Row Experience is?
As you travel around the United States, Canada, AND Europe this summer, take a minute to stop by participating brick and mortar quilt shops and pick up a free pattern for a row. No two quilt shops have the same row pattern!
AND if you have time, make a quilt using eight (8) of those rows and be the first to take your completed quilt to one of the participating quilt shops to win a prize of 25 fat quarters (about $70 worth of fabric)!
Added Bonus: use the row from the quilt shop you take your quilt to and get a BONUS prize!
Starts June 21st, 2019 - Ends October 31st, 2019
