Fab Shop Hop September
 
On Sunday afternoon I started the shop hop and I just went down the list of shops in alphabetical order. I found 13 of the bonus bunnies quickly and in order - 1 thru 13 - then all of a sudden I could not find the last 3.

I have almost finished the shops and I looked on the hop site and it says the bunnies move around. I started back from the top where I have found the bunnies and they are not there any more.

Is anyone else having porblems with this hop? I had the same problem on the Spring Sampler and just gave up. Regardless of how much I like a quilt pattern this maybe my last frustrating hop lol!

I can not find these in the Designer Showcase Sampler 14)Twisted Windmill 15)Union Victory 16) Pinwheel Square. I have tried to contact them and I can not send a message - I did post several times on their facebook site and have never received a response.

I found the same thing (or should I say didn't find the same thing)!!! Plus another problem but I'll have to write a separate post on that one!!
It might be possible that they want you to find a certain number of bunnies before giving out any more blocks- but that's only a guess on my part. I have sent them an email on another matter and haven't heard anything (I'll post about that now).

Was about to post about my negative experience with one of the stores in the Fab Shop Hop. I checked their site one last time and found that they had a toll-free number so I called them. After they didn't respond to my three emails, I thought they were ignoring my $10 coupon. However, now they say that they contacted me (maybe got a wrong number?) and thought I knew that they were reordering the fabric. So I'll hold off for now. Sometimes when things go wrong it's just a matter of poor communication!

Well I found all the Blocks right off....but they did say they move around.

I found The Twisted Windmill....in #37 Animas Quilts
I found Union Victory...............in #38 Purple Moose Designs
I found Pinwheel Square...........in #40 Happy Crafters

I don't know that it will help any since they say they move around but you could try.

I start at "G" per instructions. Found 13 right away also, it wasn't until I started with the "A" and worked my way down to where I started that I found the last 3. I've actually found all the bunnies for this month. Won a $10 gift from Stitchin heaven, but their fabric is too expensive so I probably won't use it.

Is this really worth it..... Sounds like a real headache for not much return.... Just saying!!

OH it could all be worth it if you won........that would be really FUN!! Besides you get to see 100+ fabric shops most never knew existed(like me), with all the different fabric and things they have for sale. For me it keeps me from being really bored....since my body won't let me set and sew all day.

Kinda like playing the lottery if you don't buy a ticket you can't win.....if you don't visit all the shops and find the bunnies you don't have a chance to win!!

Just Saying....have a Great Day!!

I couldn't find the last 3 last month - very frustrating! If it's like that this month, count me out. I love the patterns but, in reality, I probably will never get around to it anyway so I'm not going to lose sleep over it! But it is FRUSTRATING!!

Farm Quilter 09-16-2012 05:12 AM

I found 16 patterns. PM me with the blocks you are missing and your email, and I'll pass them on to you. I'm having trouble finding 10 bunnies!!! If it gets to the end on the month and I'm still stuck, I'll be asking for help!!

http://www.homespunhearth.com/ has me stumped - the only bunny I can't find! Supposedly the bunny likes to save $ but I can't find him in any of the sale sections. Anyone know where he is?

AUQuilter 09-16-2012 07:47 AM

He is on the newsletter page down the page on left. http://www.homespunhearth.com/newsletter.asp

Good heavens how do they get save $ out of a newsletter that's the last place I would have looked lol

laceybritt 09-16-2012 10:02 AM

That bunny is in the newsletter signup. It has nothing to do with sales - I had a hard time finding it too. I don't know why some of the shops want to make it so difficult to find the bunny - it only makes me want to avoid them lol!!!!

Thank you so much!!! Found that last bunny. I agree with you, Shelia-H, who would look there! Laceybritt, I also agree with you - if a shop makes it too hard to find the bunny, I won't shop there! Their favorite places to hide the bunny is the newsletter signup page and new arrivals...but the hint really should be more of a reflection of where the bunny really is!! I guess the folks that get the newsletters would get first crack at their sales, but really!!! Thanks again, ladies!!! You are the best!!!
