2018 ROW BY ROW EXPERIENCE IS COMING!

June 21 through September 4, 2018

Row by Row 2018 is off & running! This year there are new sizes of rows to give Quilters more options plus an opportunity to be even more creative! Our row is the Short & Sassy size, 27” x 12”.

Stop in the Shop to see our Row display. Pick up a free pattern for this row – one pattern per person. There are also kits available. Complete a quilt with 8 different rows from 2018 participating shops. Be the first to bring the completed quilt (quilted, bound, & labeled) into a participating shop to win a 25 Fat Quarter bundle. If the quilt contains the row from that Shop you can receive an additional prize!

We also have the fabric license plates for this year!

Quilter’s General Store was founded in 1997 and is located in a stately 1875 farm house. The 2500 square foot farm house is decorated in a traditional country style, utilizing many primitive and rustic items that add to the charm of the shop. QGS features approximately 2000 bolts of fabric which include a selection of civil war reproduction fabrics, batiks, and hand dyed wools.
On the second floor you will find our children’s room with baby
and juvenile fabrics, and many brights to blend with the children's fabrics.
We have a large classroom in our lower level for our full slate of classes and clubs. Many quilt and wool samples are displayed and kitted to inspire you. The entire staff at QGS is available to assist you in fabric selection or on your particular project.

Quilter’s General Store is truly a quilter’s destination for supplies, fabric, and inspiration.
We can’t wait to see all of you down on the farm!
