I have not been able to visit all of the shops in Maine that participate on our April Shop Hop, but it certainly is fun to explore the different ones if you can. I love to support LQSs versus bigger fabric stores. I enjoy the personality and characteristics of individual shops.. each one I have visited is unique in their own way and I love how the LQS in Maine support one another. I don't feel compelled to spend a whole lot on my visits... and I think shop owners are grateful that you took the time to travel to see their shop.
