Ok, so everone knows I live in Wa. state...
I havent really done a shop hop and I think I have been trying to quilt for years now...
Maybe I forgot...But I thought I would give thie year a try...some cool fat quarters, cool fabrics, maybe some sales....
But, every shop is supposed to give you a block (material), found out today that you have to buy the "block finish fabric/kit" or 'additional"block finishing fabric...so this means that you "REALLY" dont' have the fabric to finish an 8.5" block. And there really isn't any advertised 'quilt fininshing Kit that incudes the sashing and borders.
I can understand that you need to buy sashing and borders but the quilt shops I visited today did not have these item advertsed...so I had no clue...
Needless to say I felt like a duck outta water, lots or small bits of fabric that won't complete a block.....
What to do?
I'm sorry for the long post but what should I have done...
I really have no interest in going to anymore shops since the Fat Quarter selection is nill and the there isn't any sale on yard fabrics...
So what is the point of going on shop hop?
