Previously known as The Row by Row Experience, in 2020 the name was changed to Quilters Trek — the 2020 Quilters Trek color was True Blue. Customers could visit us, or , to collect a free pattern for their own True Blue quilt. Free patterns were limited to one per person, limited to in-person shoppers/walk-in (or curbside) customers only.

Artistic Artifacts limited numbers remaining of our 2020 True Blue fabric kit, which includes our pattern and cutting/ assembly instructions, giving you the fabric you need so you can complete our True Blue block. Due to the interest and concern about Covid-19 impacts, Quilters Trek changed its rules so that fabric kits could be purchased online from participating shops.
