Row by Row question
As usual I have come late to the rodeo. In seeing all the wonderful rows done on here I decided to start collecting them. My question is: Is is okay to ask someone in another town pick them up for you? I will be traveling to the mid-west after Sept. 15th and it will be over. But I have friends in other areas that may be willing to buy them for me when I send the money. It seems okay to me, but the rules are so crazy about not ordering them that I thought I would like what you all think of it? I don't compete so it will not be submitted to any shows or local shops.

QuiltingCandy, lots of shops will be selling the kits online after November gets here, too. The more popular kits may not be put together because they have some laser cut pieces that cost to much to reproduce unless you do a batch of 400. If you see one that you really like, call the quilt shop and ask if you can pay for one now and have them ship it to you in November if you can't get to the store before then. The patterns are available for free at the shops until November and then most people will charge about $3 for the pattern if you want it. If you know someone in the town that can pick up a pattern for you now, that won't cost you anything. If you want the fabrics that the shop picked out, then you'll have to buy that kit. Have fun!

I live in Texas and the state is huge - no way can I get to all of the shops I want a row for. So far I have engaged my cousin, work friend, son, daughter, and sister-in-law to pick up the kits for me. I've picked up for my cousin and friend.
The shops don't mind. They even joke about the non-quilters that come in.
I have really enjoyed row by row because of all of the variety. I did one last year and got hooked.
