Friends taking a lunch break during the Quilt Shop Hop 2006(L to R) Janet, Kim, Rae Ann, Diana, Rita
This years theme is "Once Upon A Time" and this is the first year that each of the 15 quilt shops is handing out a free pattern for an entire quilt. That means if you go to all 15 shops you'll have 15 free patterns to make 15 quilts. I'm excited to see what each quilt shop has come up with this year. In the past years each shop made a block that was part of one quilt. Then each shop would take the blocks from everyone and make their own creation. It was fun to see how each shop used the 15 blocks and made their own creation!
I'll take pictures along the way and try to post them as I go. Remember to check back toward the end of the week.
SHOP HOP GIVE AWAY: I've wanted to do something fun to generate traffic on my blog so I thought this would be a great way to do it. While I'm out quilt shop hopping this week I'll be looking for something fun that a quilter might just HAVE to HAVE! Right now it's a MYSTERY (even to me) but, I'll find something useful that you might enjoy! If you want to be part of the Shop Hop Give Away make sure to leave a comment on this post and on the next few shop hop posts I'll be making later this week. I'll pick the winner for the Shop Hop Give Away on Wednesday July 2, 2008.
I've included a few pictures from the last few years. I found 2005, 2006 and I know I went to the shop hop last year but I guess I didn't have my camera with me. Sorry! I'll take lots of pictures this year.

ReplyDeleteHi Kim- I am a new blogger and would love to be counted in! I moved from N. Utah to S. Utah about 2 years ago, and I miss Shop Hop. If I wasn't going to Girl's Camp I'd be making the drive up for the event. You can find me at http://cactus-needle.blogspot.com/

Hi Kim. I mentioned the shop hop give-away you are doing on my blog today. I hope some of my readers make it over here to see some of your great projects! I can't wait to have you take pictures of EVERYTHING! I won't make it to all of the shops this year so I'm going to live vicariously through you. Have fun and let me know the best ones to visit. I'm dying to see all those patterns, too.
ReplyDeleteOK Here goes, yes I wanna win. I'd love to be doing the hop this year. I was able to in 2005 Pieces of Utah. I loved so many of the shops. My sister and I did it with her 3 year old very well behaved daughter, Olivia along. At every shop, Olivia had the use the restroom, thus it was dubbed "The Quilt Shop Hop Potty Stop". It was fun. Thanks Kim.
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I just love shop hops. Hope you have a great time!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the pieces of Utah quilts. Now I am really homesick....
ReplyDeleteBut, I just might be okay if I enter your little give-away!
Have fun on your quilting adventure!:):):)
I'm excited for the shop hop as well - I won't make it to all the shops either, but I can't wait to hit my favorites. I will be watching your blog to make sure I don't miss something exciting from Shop HOp
ReplyDeleteSounds like you will be having a great time...I'm jealous, but I will try to make it to some of the shops. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI saw talk about the Utah Shop Hop on Nanette's blog and had to come over. My friends and I are coming down for it as well. We're from Idaho. What a good idea for a little giveaway. I might have to try that as well. We'll see what you buy and then we'll see what I buy. :) Cute, cute stuff on here!
ReplyDeleteFreda's Hive sent me over here....& I love a good mystery,can't wait to see your discoveries!! Have Fun!
ReplyDeleteThe mystery is very exciting, and I hope I win, because I'm sure if it is quilting related I can find a use for it.
ReplyDeletePlease take lots of pictures so we can live vicariously through you and your friends!
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling sad cuz I won't be able to make it to very many of the shops this year. Please enter my name in your drawing, and maybe winning a prize will cheer me up! LOL

Hi Kim. We had alot of fun at the shop hop together with Jackie. What a great tradition we have had for 10 years. It was great quilting with you all last week and I can't wait until we finish up our darling quilts. The pedicures were fun. Mine is still hanging in there. Love my lime green flip flops.
