Did my first shop hop - It included 12 shops, 6 in other towns (150 mile round trip each weekend) and 6 local. We signed up for door prizes at each shop. The grand prize is $600 worth of gift certificates. One shop gave out packets of hand sewing needles, one gave a set of 2 1/2" fabric squares, some had cookies set out. Each shop had one block of a quilt pattern and instructions to give out. A friend and I went to 3 shops on a Friday, and planned a lunch out at a favorite restaurant. The next day we did all the local shops. Last Friday we went to the last 3 shops and had lunch at a new restaurant. Bought fabric in most all the shops. We had a lot of fun.
