A State-wide shop hop was held for the entire month of September.

Fifteen quilt shops and merchants in related fields held a shop hop for the whole month of September...from border to border and from the mountains to the Gulf.

The participating merchants planned it this way so that you would have time to visit as many shops as you would like.

Information for the next shop hop...

The more shops you visit, the better chance you will have at some great prizes. Call your favorite shop for details about the participating shops and details about the prizes and how you can
up your chances of winning.
