You might be interested in what Pennsylvania is advertising on Face book to encourage those interested in quilting to visit their state this summer. Sounds great, doesn't it? I found it on Facebook under: Pennsylvania Row by Row Quilt Shop Hop. Enjoy.

Thank you for posting this link, I just might have to "hop" over to PA since the border is only an hour away. It's always fun to find new places to visit. I am a major fan of both FB and Pinterest and I don't understand why it is so terrible that companies use all the tools they have to reach their audience? It is no different than choosing between using newspaper ads or email newsletters. Most places use all of them that they can afford. It just so happens that using FB is much cheaper than a print ad, and doesn't use paper.

Will have to check it out.

Thank You . I love going on shop hops. I live in N.Y. but close to Pa. so I can visit several. Its also nice to see them on facebook. Sometimes its the only way we know about shops not in our area.
PS---I use facebook but don't think I have a facebook mentality whatever that is. Its a nice way to connect with people you don't visit everyday as well of finding info. such as this. |
If you don't want to use Facebook then don't. But lots of us do... so please don't put us down as "Facebook Mentalities". It's a nice way to keep up with family and friends when they live too far away to see them often.

There are never fees for shop hops because they are counting on you visiting each shop listed, to collect a pattern or whatever their gimmick is, enter for give-a-ways and door prizes and , yes, shop shop shop at each stop. There is sometimes a shop hop quilt with each shop offering their own kits with their own fabric/colorways for you to buy. They are fun, but very expensive when you add up the cost of the gas for the travel, the expense of all the shopping that you do.
