Tell us about the Shop Hop project!

We’re doing this year’s project a little differently- instead of all making the same quilt, each shop has been assigned a different quilting technique. Using a common set of fabrics, everyone designed their own quilt to best showcase their featured technique.

During the shop hop, each store will have kits for sale containing fabrics they used in their project, as well as an instructional sheet for their particular technique. These kits are just $5 and contain four different fabrics (1/8 yd each). Take a peek below at the quilts our different stores have put together for you:

Guildcrafters
Technique: Applique

The Stichery
Technique: Curved piecing

Linda’s Country Quilts
Technique: No-waste, flying geese

Monarch
Technique: Easy half-square triangles

Mabelena’s
Technique: English paper piecing

This year the Cabin Fever Shop Hop is benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Please help us support a cure by buying a passport and attending ourĀ  annual Shop Hop!
