ROW BY ROW 2019
TASTE THE EXPERIENCE!

We are excited to reveal our 2019 Row by Row Block titled “Cow Pies, 25 Cents.

This year’s theme is Taste The Experience.  Our area is largely rural, and still very like the West that you have always dreamed about. Cows are plentiful in the pastures surrounding Cortez, so we thought a little word play would be fun. Row by Row starts this Friday, June 21st. Be sure to come by and pick up your kit! Be the first to bring in a completed quilt, and you can win!
