Join JH Travel for our second annual “Quilt Shop Hop” trip – there is not another template for this trip! Many a new friendship (quilt) will be made and backgrounds (fabric) will be pieced together! Get ready to sit back, batting and swaps back & forth along the way to quilt shops in Iowa and Wisconsin – this is not a mystery (quilt). Just a sampler (quilt) of the itinerary:
Our first stop will be at The Cotton Cabin Quilt Shop in Dubuque, Iowa and located right beside this quilt shop is Jitterz where a muffin & coffee or tea (included) will be awaiting our group.
Wisconsin bound! Hidden Quilts in Platteville, WI will welcome our group next. Then it is on to Patches And Petals in Belleville, WI which is a chosen winner for the May, 2012 Quilt Sampler magazine! A lunch box (included) will be delivered to be eaten along the way to our next quilt shop in Stoughton, WI which is Saving Thyme quilt shop. Departing next for Milton, WI the motor coach will take our quilters to Loose Threads. Life’s A Stitch is next on our agenda at Janesville, WI with our last quilt stop at Attic Quilts in Beloit, WI. Everyone will be hungry by this time and so pizza (included) will be delivered to be eaten as we complete our trip back to Newton.
Everyone that attended the “Quilt Shop Hop 2011” is asked to bring along a finished project that was purchased on the trip to share with everyone! Bring along as many items as you would like. If you would like to bring along a quilt block or something to show other quilters your current project please do!
Wow! This is truly a “Quilt Shop Hop” trip – so don’t miss this patch (quilt)! A short patchwork synopsis for each stop will be given on October 18th. Each quilt shop will provide a short program on a quilting or sewing project during our visit! Be sure to contact your friends and bring along your fusible quilting groups! This trip will be binding many new friends together and charm (quilts) will be abundant. Don’t be a crazy patch and miss the trip! Sandwich our fun, talk about UFO’s in your sewing rooms and bring some coins, but no funny money like fat quarters or penny squares. Let this trip be a great memory (quilt)!
