The fabshophop happens 10 times a year- each time there is a new hop the number of shops vary- somewhere between 130 & i think the most i've seen in the past 10 years was 181--but it varies month to month.
there are different (levels) of prize chances depending on how many you find-
and although i have not gone back and read the rules in awhile (i've been doing them for 10 years) it used to be every day that you found at least one-you were in prize drawings for that day- and saturday's were double drawing days-
at the beginning of each hop i check to see how many bunnies/shops are participating in that one---say 156--then i divide that number by how many days in the month---30---so i know in order to find them all i need to find at least...5 or 6 a day---then if i miss a day i know how many i need to (catch up)
over the years i have won gift certificates- fabric collections- fat quarter collections- patterns-
but the best thing about the hop is being able to browse all those different shops- anything you could be looking for - you will be able to find- there is such a vast amount of resources available at your fingertips. and extra bonus- if you sign up for the newsletters from your favorite shops you are also bound to win something.

I found all 161 this month. I really wanted to win the grand prize of the sewing machine last month but darn I didnt. My Janome Jem was stolen a couple months ago in a smash and grab so I was really hoping. Anyway, love the shop hop.

I used to do it regular for about a year. I'd search and search until I found all that was needed to get the big price and never won anything so I slowly stopped.
Haven't played in about 3 years.
Good luck to you. Hope you win something fun.
