We hope you had a relaxing and safe Fourth.  We also want to let you know that we have a Row by Row Winner.  Look at the fun rows that she has put together for her quilt.  We would love to see your completed Row by Row quilt when you get them finished so please come in and show us yours when you complete it.  Remember that Row by Row continues through September 6th. These are a couple of the Row by Row fabrics available for use with your rows. Did you notice that she has the road map fabric in her border?  Stop in and get your Row by Row fabric before it is gone.
