A couple of Michigan Row by Row's

I did get to stop at two stores in Michigan to see if I could pick up rows.
Fields Fabrics in Grand Rapids has several stores in the area.
Each store has their own row.
This store had a winner already.

Their row is called "Rain".
The store is actually in Walker, Michigan, a suburb of Grand Rapids.

Here is a picture of all rows their stores have.

The other one I got is "Windy Day" and is from their Plainfield Twp. store.

They had a winner too!

I like that there is a theme for each year.
Last year's was seasons.  You can make a quilt using all the seasons together, or split them up.
Some can turn out to be wall hangings for a particular season, or holiday.
I have heard through the grapevine, that the theme for next year has been decided, and the fabric designed.  I think the fabrics for this year are wonderful.  The blues go so well for water, and there are so many great other themed fabrics to go with them.  What fun.

Have a spectacular day.

I've seen such great rows. I wish we traveled so I could get some of the patterns. You are getting quite a collection. I see that Lansing is having floods and they are telling people to stay inside. Hope you got out of there in time!!

Every time you post more rows, I find myself wishing I could have traveled more this summer. Some of them are just too cute! I like the one called Rain. It has a Mary Englebreit look to it. Thanks for the inspiration.
