Combine your rows in any way to create a unique quilt that represents the fun you had traveling throughout the summer. Travel with friends, discover new quilt shops and have fun collecting rows!
Please see the Row by Row website for a complete list of rules.
This year our row was designed by Swan Sheridan of Swan Amity Studios. We were so lucky to have her trunk show with us last summer- but we are even luckier she agreed to design our gorgeous row! Please go to her website http://swanamity.com/ and like her on Facebook.

Water Coloring Fabric Class
Wed, July 15th @ 10am-2pm
Cost: $45 (or FREE with Class Pass)
Swan swears you do not need artistic talent to do this class. She also promises you will thoroughly enjoy this class. This class provides the fundamentals of creating watercolor paintings on PFD fabrics. Students use both Inktense color blocks and pencils to draw their design and blend color, making the most of their creativity. Class also covers fixing errors and preparing the painting for quilting.
Here is a student's finished painting after her last class (and the student swore she had no talent at all).
Free Motion Quilt Class
Thurs, July 16th @ 10-2pm
Cost: $45 (or FREE with class pass)
Swan has her own amazing unique style of Free motion that she is willing to share. If you have seen any of her skills, you will RUN to sign up for this class! Filling those small spaces and creating texture in spaces of all size often calls for micro-quilting. Using simple and familiar stippling concepts, micro-quilting becomes a readily available technique that machine quilters are sure to love. This class focuses on three basic stipple shapes that can be manipulated into a variety of micro-quilting fills.
Swan will also have a trunk show on both days of new projects and patterns that combine that with some pattern signing times as well as some Q&A regarding techniques!
Textured Pillow Class
Friday July 24th @ 5:30-8:30
Instructor:Breezi Kohrman
You asked for pillow classes- and we're delivering! We are in love with V and Co's Ombre' fabric line- and these textured pillows make us love it even more.
Pillows are a great way to refresh a room!

We are asking that you come in before the day of the class to purchase your supplies- so you can help your child PRE-CUT the fabric. I am hoping that this will stream line the class, and it can go a bit quicker for the kids.
Also, we are limiting the class size to 10 kids~ so register early.
