Wasatch Quilt Shop Hop & Giveaway!

This year's Wasatch Quilt Shop Hop did not disappoint. In my opinion it was the best year ever and I enjoyed each shops interpretation of the blocks. It was fun taking pictures of 12 of the 15 shops that we visited yesterday. It took us over 13 hours and we almost made it to 13 of the shops but we were 13 minutes after it closed. The remaining two shops were too far away for us and we didn't have enough time to get there. We're sad about that, but that's the way it is. I'm just happy we were able to hit so many in one day. By the way, if the shop's have a link to their websites I've linked them for you, just click on the store's name and it will take you to their darling shops. We are sooo lucky here in Utah to have sooo many wonderful quilt shops.

Announcing My 2nd Annual
Quilt Shop Hop Giveaway

This has been a fun tradition for me and my friends for many years now and I wanted to have another giveaway to celebrate all of the creativity that exists here in Utah. Of the 13 quilts we saw I decided to pick Three of my Favorite Quilts. Each of these quilts were designed by the owner's of each quilt shop and were designed and made by them (owner's), their staff, and/or with the help of their staff (I think I covered it all the variables on that).

Here are the Rules:

• Pick your favorite quilt then leave a comment telling me which number quilt you liked and if your favorites are my favorites I'll put your name in for the Quilt Shop Hop Giveaway.
• I don't like to leave anyone out so, if you don't pick one of my favorite quilts you're name will still go in for the 2nd prize that I'm also giving away.
• The Giveaway will be open until Monday, June 22nd at 12 midnight. I will then draw two names for the two prizes which I will show you when I reveal the names of the two winners.

Here's how it works . . .
I've posted a picture of the Quilt Shops store fronts with a number attached right by the shops name. You will then see a quilt picture of the store's interpretation of the quilt theme which is, "Around the Town".

(no store front picture, sorry I missed this one)

I got distracted here and missed a picture of Quilt Etc.'s store front because I heard my name being called as I was getting ready to take a picture of the store. So this picture will have to suffice. I ran into one of my blogging/quilting friends Nedra of Cactus Needles. She was up visiting from St. George doing the Quilt Shop Hop with some of her friends. We were hoping to run into each other during the shop hop and we had even traded cell phone number's. It was so fun meeting Nedra in person and giving each other a big hug. After we hit a few other quilt shops Nedra, Judie, and their friend Beth met up with Me and my friend Jackie at Zupa's for lunch. Lunch was yummy and the company was wonderful. We could've visited for hours. This picture is taken by the house next door to the quilt shop and belongs to the quilt shop owner, Pat. I love Pat and all of her staff and that's where I taught classes for a few years. I LOVED it and when I have more time I would love to work there again.
