Our big party is just around the corner! Next Wednesday to be exact. The Shop Hop is something I think about all year, sort of like Christmas. You know the date, you are planning in your head, but when the date draws near, it's always a little shocking!!
I am really pleased with how this years quilt turned out. When we saw the fabric, I really did not have a true vision of how it would come together. But just look at how stinking cute this quilt is!! I think all of the shop owners really stretched themselves. Our cute little sleeping owl is the middle block on the top row. We have used wool and a little embroidery to finish off this cutie. I hope you will all enjoy making it.
I love the squirrel block in the center of the quilt! The quilt is made up of 49 blocks, and there are 3 'floating' blocks on the poster. The shops are given a deadline to have their completed block turned in to In the Beginning, so a quilt can be made, photographed and printed in a poster. If your block is late, but they haven't printed the posters yet, they float them on the bottom of the poster.
This year there are 54 shops participating in the Hop. The hours will be from 9-8 on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and from 10-5 on Sunday.
We have been busy working on new samples, putting together new kits and digging through our back room to have extra things on our sale tables. I hope you will stay awhile after you get your passport stamped, and check out all we have to offer you, our favorite customers! J
