Thanks for posting this Terri! I signed up. Let the fingers begin.....

Can you tell me a little more about how this works? I saw several of you talking about this late last year but still am not sure how it all works. I went to the site but that didnt explain much either.

MissTami

Once you sign up, you go to the list of shops. There will be about 185 places. Click on the link to a shop, then explore in that site until you find the bunny. Click on the bunny (the one that says "You found it") and it will take you back to the fab shop hop site where you enter your e-mail address to register for prizes. Just keep doing that over and over until you've visited all the shops.

I have only once found all the bunnies and have never won anything. Some sites can be frustrating to navigate and others are nice and straightforward. It's interesting to see all the on-line places, though.

Thanks. I going to sign up now.

Oh crap... clean house and get ready for the week or do the fabshophop....hmmmmmm....... I think Mr M can fend for himself... :):) off I go to shop wahoo!!!!

Thank you so much I think I will go join

Miss Tami

How is everyone doing on their bunny shopping?

38 so far - saw some beautiful batiks yesterday. :shock:

Okay spill, Moonpi. Where were the batiks? That dang bunny gets me in trouble every time! :roll:

I got thru on dilliger today try it again

Has anyone found the bunny at # 57 Cottage Quilts?

and they even had some light colored ones!

I had the same problem. If you type in the addy, it will come up for you. That's what I did. I just opened another window, typed in Dillengers fabric and went to the website like that.

It's in Block of the Month

Thank you!

MissTami

I've found some cool free patterns in Studio Kat

Has anyone been able to find the bunny at the site Electric Blue Fish? I seem to be having trouble.

MissTami

I found it - But I do not remember where - I went back to the site to see if I could remember where but that was one I had to visit more than once to find it. Sorry

Just went through my history file on my computer - Try Kaleidoscope Quilt Block Kit s :) . You have to actually "click" on each one and view them to find it.

I find I spend the most time at the sites that clearly show the bunny. I like best the ones that give me a tour of their site where I just click from bunny to bunny.

If it is too hidden there is no way I would ever order from them because I am too frustrated.

I totally agree - If they have a "clue" or easily found I spend lots of time looking at patterns, sale fabric and Block of the Month. If I have to spend lots of time in a detailed search - I leave as soon as I find it.

What really irritated me this time were the errors. Two sites gave incorrect clues, Dillengers link was incorrect (I had to google it to get to the site) and many sites loaded so poorly or their internal links did not work (I was a math/computer science teacher before I retired two years ago any one of my things that kids were marked down on were buttons and links that did not work ) :roll: :roll:

Thank you for your help with the Electric Blue Fish. I to found it. Has anyone ever won something from these shop hops? I am just curious? I am still searching. Hope you all are having as much fun as I am. You all are right though I do find myseld lerking at the ones that give the clues and make it fun with the tours.

MissTami :roll:

Ugh!!! This is NOT good .... the more shops I visit, the more I want to buy!! My tax refund just made it into my bank account. I've found some great bargains.

My name is Pat and I'm a fabriholic!

I got $10 last time but I haven't spent it yet.

Thats cool. I too am a fabriholic!!!!

MissTami

Ps Also on a budget! I just get to dream.........

I've won 4 $10 gift certificates from the FabShopHops. I haven't had a lot of time to hop this time so I have only found around 25 bunnies so far. I better get busy.

I just want to spread the word about these guys. I also see their shop in not on this months hop.
I got a $10 GC from fabricdreams.com...I was looking to get 1yd of fabric for $9.00 :roll: :roll: :roll: their shipping charge is $8.00...:x :x :x
I emailed them, I guess they need my business so it was offered at $3.00 for parcel post LOL
We all know that first class mail is packages/envelopes that are up to 13ozs @ 42 cents per oz. http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendm...tclassmail.htm

There is no way 1 yd of fabric weighs more than 13ozs

I'm glad I got that off my chest...WHEW!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I working through them...I did win a $10 GC last time..so its fun..Of course yes, I did spend more than that when I redeemed it (which is exactly what they wanted me to do) You know..shipping is SO high..you have to make it worth your while to pay the shipping. I didn't think about arguing with them and having them reduce the shipping- thats a good thought Fancy. They will always charge too much if they can get away with it I guess.

Oops, posted in wrong place.

If I can't find it after a long time, I get frustrated and e-mail them for a hint. I just can't wade through the mass pf pages at some of the huge sites. I won a ten dollar gift certificate there once, and if you look through the old posts, there were some second place winners on the board.

I think the first few I did, there was a rule that it could be no more than six clicks from the frnot page, but now some are just buried.

What does the new purple balloons mean????? Does anyone know? Tha balloons are before the names of the sites on the list. How is everyone doing?

MissTami

I finally found 132 of those little bunnies -- enough to qualify for a grand prize. That was fun -- now let's see if my effort pays off!!

I think the balloons are for special sales. Different colors for different weeks. I wondered that too.

The balloons are for specials the shops are running.

Looks like FUN! TFS

Ok, I have them all, but if I got to MEMBERS AREA, sign in and then go to SHOPS NOT VISITED, it says I haven't gone to Quiltville Creations. I have clicked 3 times on that bunny....did the registration page, it came up saying it registered. I got the e-mail about it, but it doesn't say in the e-mail what shop it is.
Strange, huh?

I too have completed all 180 but am having problems with the registration of the final web site of Quiltworld. I do not know what to do or how to let the shop hop people know. Any suggestions?


MissTami

I wouldn't worry about it too much..you only have to do 130 to qualify for the grand prize, right???

That is true. I was just letting others know that I too was having the same problem as they were. How is everyone doing? I found some beautiful fabrics and some pretty good deals.

MissTami

I never can get through the darn thing without buying something...hmmmm, guess I'm the kind of sucker they are looking for right?? :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm still only about half way through them anyway. I take entirely too long on each site poking around. :oops:
