fab shop hop problem
 
I was happily finding and downloading the blocks for this months hidden meadow sampler. I found 9 blocks easily but have been unable to find the last three. I have been trying for the last three days and have not found any blocks at all. Does anyone know what happened. Did they remove them all. I can't even find the ones I already have. It seems they have all disappeared.

i think i found them all - not sure if i can email them to you but i can try. what ones are you missing? i gotta vent on the fab shop hop for a second - i won a certificate for $10 and the shop didn't honor it (as of yet!) they charged me for the full amount without taking the $10 off and have not responded to two of my emails. i got the package today with a nice note (handwritten no less) thanking me for my order. i am going to give them til the end of next week and then who knows what i will do? any suggestions?

I agree with you I found I think seven and haven't found anymore either. It's crazy!! That's a lot of time and when there is no hints for the bunnies I stayed up till like 4 in the morning.

The only thing I can suggest is to notify the Fabshop hop website, they do have a 'contact us' link. I was thinking I would use it myself if I can't get the other three blocks I'm missing. I will send you the ones I'm missing if I can't get them. I'm going to give it another try first. Thanks tho for your offer.

Thanks for your help Laurel, I went to those sites and the blocks are no longer there. Now I'm really annoyed. It seems like they have taken the blocks down

they move the blocks around the website during the month so they may not be on the same sites for everyone and not at the same shop.

ragqueen03 02-24-2013 04:20 AM

in regards to my problem, i may wait out the week and see what happens. they may get in touch with me this week i hope. last time i won a certificate i couldn't get it to work at all which really wasn't a problem because believe it or not NOTHING interested me at that particular shop.

This is what it says on the Member page:

"Remember that the bonus blocks are moving around all the time, so you may need to check the shops more than once to find them all—a great reason to revisit your favorite shops!

From March 1-31st, the material list and assembly directions plus your February Hidden Meadow Sampler bonus block finds will be in your member area."

I've quit trying to download blocks as I find them and just wait until that month's hop is over and get the whole thing at once.

I was able to find all of them. I also found the bunny on all the websites, though I had trouble with 4 of them. A couple didn't have any hints the first couple of times I went to them, but went back a day or two ago & they had hints. I think they added hints. I also had a $10 gc from 4my3boyz.com. They emailed me soon after I received notification of the g.c that I would need to email them after I used it. When I used it the entire amt was charged to my pp acct, but then I emailed & they immediately refunded it & apologised that they were not set up properly to credit it at time of sale. They shipped right away & I'm expecting to receive it today or tomorrow. I haven't seen the fabric yet but have every expectation that it will be good quality. All in all, a very positive experience with this shop, & I will be visiting their site again.

Thank you, I guess I will wait and get my missing ones in March. I did spend two hours last nite going thru all the shops, ones I had visited already and a few I had not and did not find one single block.

Thank you. I guess I will wait until March and get the missing ones then. I spent two hours last nite visiting all the shops I had been to and those I had not and didn't find a single block. SOmething is wrong with their site I think. I did send them an email but have had no response

This is the 2nd time that I haven't found the last 3 blocks! Very frustrating. I'm afraid that I'm going to just quit with their site. It's really not worth the hassle! It's too bad though - some of the shops have great sites. I'm just not going to waste the time anymore!! If those bunnies want to keep hopping......they can go on their merry way!!

SO DONE with the hopping

Don't expect to find them in March; they only allow you access to the ones you found.

I complained about this, I think, two or three hops ago. I spent a considerable amount of time, into the wee hours, on two nights looking for the last three blocks. I later complained via email and was told that the bunnies move around. DUH. I knew that; I just thought that visiting 140 shops ought to give you the complete pattern.

That was my LAST hop...

I have found all the bunnies except ONE! I need to register at kikiquilts ... I have clicked on the link for the bunny and I get an error message! I have tried to allow pop-ups, etc. and still can't get past the error message ... I even tried on my phone still nothing ... any suggestions?

pamesue 02-26-2013 07:04 PM

I have 12 blocks ...if you want me to email them to you PM me
