Today there was a big postal mailer envelope in the mail box, it was fluffy and thick. I didn't think I ordered any fabric recently. It was from Fabshophop. I won a second place prize in the Jan. Fabshophop. I got four yards of beautiful red on white and white on red fabric. If you haven't done the online fabshophop it really is legit and you don't have to be present to win. LOL.

That is so cool. February was my first time doing the hop. And I've already started doing the March hop too. Who knows, maybe I will win someday. I love red and white fabrics. Can't wait to see what you will do with it.

How fun. I have only won the 10.00 gift certificates and I enjoy those...BUT red and white, my favorite colors. Congrats. I may start playing again. I use to find all the bunnys and stayed online doing so until I found the QB. Now I spend it here. Maybe I can split the time.:)Thanks for sharing.

The last on line shop hop I did I won a 10.00 gift certificate. It takes about a month to notify the winners. When I went to the on line shop to use the certificate they had gone out of business. but thats ok I know times are hard right now.

Neena 03-08-2011 04:32 AM

Yeah You!!!!

I did January, passed on February and am doing March. So far I've found all the bunnies except two. Still working on those. I've won the $10 gift cert. twice and second place once. I also got red on white & white on red & black on white and white on black for my four yards. Oh loved it. Still haven't come up with a project yet. I want to win the Grand prize and redo my sewing room. Not asking too much, am I? LOL

NO LIFE HERE EITHER, LOL

kem77 03-08-2011 09:12 AM

Congratulations,I just love a good suprise!! Happy sewing!

donnalynett 03-08-2011 10:33 AM

My Mom just made her first quilt at the age of 82. She won a $10 gift card and we were so thrilled!

Shemjo 03-08-2011 10:54 AM

Congrats Bella! It is neat getting that package! The shophop is fun, and if you do it everytime, it gets easier to find that bunny. Sometime I browse in the fabrics, but I'd rather just find the bunny and go on.

I was a second prize winner as well and it appears I've received the same fabric you did.

I enjoy doing the hop and have won gift cert. but this is the first time I've actually won a real prize that they value at $25 at least.

Got to get back to doing the hop although my chances of winning again are very little but I enjoy "visiting" the shops.

cowgirlquilter 03-08-2011 12:12 PM

How fun!!! Now...what will you be making?? Can't wait to see!!!

CarrieAnne 03-08-2011 12:14 PM

Scakes 03-08-2011 04:22 PM

Congratulations! Much more fun than finding a bill in the mailbox. :lol:

PattyS 03-08-2011 05:03 PM

I have been doing the Fabshophop for a long time and actually have won twice. Not any of the big prizes but did win a pak of fat quarters and 2 yds of neutral fabrics. I have also won a couple of $10.00 gift certificates to use at certain shoppes. It is fun looking through the shops and seeing what they carry as well as looking for the bunny.

Way to go BellaBoo!!! I won on the shop hop last Nov. and received 4 different white Jacquard pieces of fabric at 2 ydes each... when I opened the package My sweet husband just looked at me and said "Is that all?" of course I was so excited, but he just had no clue how GREAT this was to get!!!
( He is a sweetie and supports my love of quilting but just has no clue!!) :thumbup: Good to hear from you here!!! :lol:

Alondra 03-08-2011 05:29 PM

Good for you. Now... what are you going to do with it? You're a lucky lady! :)

Jennifer22206 03-08-2011 05:30 PM

yay! I'm happy for you!

I've won a few $10 gift certificates - I have a ball looking for the silly bunny!

franie 03-08-2011 05:31 PM

Cool! and Congrats. I have done the hop but find it time consuming.

cheryl rearick 03-08-2011 05:32 PM

How exciting, I've never heard of a online one only the ones you go to in person. Have fun with your materials.

loreen 03-08-2011 05:52 PM

I was notifed a few weeks back about being a winner for second place as well. Also got the fabric yesterday. It is beautiful & could not have come at a better time. I really needed a pick me up after last week.

butterflies5518 03-08-2011 06:28 PM
