Shops I have visited so far:
AuSable Fabrics and More in Grayling. Their design has a river scene with a canoe and fish swimming in the lake.
Caroline's Sewing Room in West Branch. Their row includes Rifle River and their famous Smiley Face water tower.
Elm Creek, Ltd in Farwell has another river scene with Michigan wildlife on its banks.
Front Porch Quilts in Troy has created an amazing sunset Detroit riverfront scene with the skyline and a freighter. I love love love this one!
Heritage Quilt Shop in Gladwin's row has pieced 'waves' with little sailboats appliqued in the water.
Northern Hearth Quilting & Sewing Center in Cadillac offers a colorful sunset over the lake with silhouettes of a fisherman and a sail boat.
Patches & Petals in Cadillac is a four block row with a tree in each season's colors and a river flowing in front.
Quilted Memories in Montague uses an Attic Window setting to show a vivid sky over the water, with silhouettes of lighthouses and sailboats.
The Quilter's Garden in Fenton features a wood duck in a lake with cattails between two pieced blocks.
Surry Rd. Quilt Shop is a pieced flour block pattern with colorful fish. This shop is cash only and caters to the Amish/Mennonite community. They had amazing hand made rugs. I can home with one and want to return and buy another.
Suze's Stitch'n in Houghton Lake has a scenic river with a black bear between two Bear Paw pieced blocks.

PLUS, I bought last year's blocks from two shops.
There are a few more shops I plan to visit before Sept. 15. There is a challenge to make a quilt with 8 rows. I am planning to make smaller quilts with perhaps 3 rows together thematically.
To find participating quilt shops in your state visit here.
