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 our annual Shop Hop!
I think quuilt from the stitchery is the best. the details are easily seen and pattern is easy on eyes. also, brown/pink make for a good color cmbination.
