I am "doing" a shop hop currently going on in western Wisconsin. Yesterday I drove 260 miles to go to 4 of the 9 shops. Friday I went to 3. Wednesday I will go to the final 2 shops. At each shop you get fabric and a pattern for a quilt block. This year's quilt is one of the ugliest quilts I have ever seen. One of the shops made a few changes to make it into a table runner. I will be making the table runner. I still haven't finished the one from last year.
This shop hop sounds like it is following all the rules from the original one. I wouldn't mind a sale at each shop! LOL
