I went on a quilt shop hop two weeks ago...by myself, although I had asked a good friend who had other commitments. This hop included 7 stores in the SW MN/NW IA area and it was a lot of fun! I had a 'shopping list' which I didn't really follow, but came home with several kits, a few FQs, and LOTS of ideas for future use!
In August, there is a Quilt Minnesota shop hop, and althought I'd like to partake, I'm not sure my work schedule will permit...but I'll certainly dream!
