SHOP WITH US
Come shop with us in our new online store! We’ve got loads of fun official Row by Row Experience™ merchandise including pins, fabric, and kits from previous years.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SEPTEMBER!
If it’s your birthday this month, you can receive a gift! Click here to download the coupon (PDF), print it, and bring it into the store. You can also show us the coupon on your phone instead of printing it. The coupon is good one time only, any day during your birthday month.
Note about the map
Important! On the map you will see a street labeled Hazelhurst, just to the right of the red balloon. That is the wrong name! The name of the street is actually Marisa Heights. So, when you’re looking for the store, it’s at the corner of New Court Ave. and Marisa Heights (which is a teeny little street with a big sign).
Our Playlist is your guide to all the fun!

Row by Row On the Go
Are you ready to row by row? We are crazy about our row this year! This-a-Way, That-a-Way was designed by Joan Ford of Hummingbird Highway LLC. The fun pattern works so well with the Row by Row On the Go theme. The row can be used horizontally or vertically in a RxR quilt. Or you can add the individual blocks to the ends of other rows to make your quilt wider. Shown here in the 2017 Row by Row fabric and available in other fabric combinations. Get ready to row!
