Enjoy hopping and shopping through the Quilt Shops in Tennessee. Pick up a free pattern for a row and get started with your Row By Row themed quilt.
It's the easiest shop hop ever! Just visit any of the participating quilt shops throughout the summer. Each shop is giving away a pattern for one row in a row quilt. Pick up as many as you can, then mix and match your rows to create a fun and unique quilt. No passports and no fees! It's a freebie!

Tomorrow's the day to start submitting your quilts for the Quilters Trek True Blue Challenge!
Hello, Trekkers! I’m Janet Lutz, Quilters Trek and Row by Row founder. I’m also a shop owner at Calico Gals in Upstate NY.
Tomorrow you can start submitting your True Blue Quilt Challenge quilts. You are our Challenge Champions!
You’ve been sewing and collecting all along during these crazy times. We’ve seen some already and they’re amazing!
Actually, you’re all champions! Making masks. Homeschooling. Caring for your families and holding them together.
If you’re a Challenge Champion and have a quilt to submit but your favorite participating shop is temporarily closed or has limited COVID hours, call them! Arrange a time to claim your prize curbside. Have a party in the parking lot to celebrate.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay sewing!
PS...don't have a quilt with designs from 8 shops but have other projects you’ve made from QTrek designs? Row by Row too? Post photos on our brand new Finishers page. We’d love to see them! https://www.facebook.com/groups/QuiltersTrekFinishers

Quilters Trek by Row by Row
• June 21 - September 8, 2020
Visit participating quilt shops in person or ONLINE this summer to collect designs for a colorful quilt. This year’s color is TRUE BLUE.
Shops are creating four 9” block designs that can be arranged in an 18” square or 9” x 36” row. They will make up their designs in True Blue fabrics to inspire you. Get a free pattern of their design as a thank you for visiting the store IN PERSON only. Please do not ask for patterns to be mailed or emailed.
True Blue Quilters Trek kits, which do include the pattern, CAN be purchased and mailed to you. Order them directly from the shops online, by phone, or by email. Shops may add shipping charges. Kit sales and shipping begin on June 21.
While supplies last… purchase a True Blue Quilters Trek kit and find a Quilters Trek token inside the package. Each area has seven unique tokens to collect and trade!
Bonus… just for fun… a few of the kits have Golden Tokens tucked inside!
All new… twice as many chances to win a prize for quilting!
Be one of the first 2 (TWO!) people to bring a completed quilt using at least 32 nine-inch blocks from at least 8 participating QTrek stores and receive a stack of 15 fat quarters. Receive a bonus prize if your quilt includes the shop’s design. The time for submitting prize quilts is July 15 - October 15, 2020.
Visit https://rowbyrowexperience.com/ and click on the Shop Finder to locate participating shops and see their designs. Check back often to see new designs added daily as we near the event start date June 21.
