I won second prize a few months ago and they sent me a few yards of light beige cotton fabrics . Very nice colors that can be used alot. Didn't even know I won till they showed up in the mail. Recieved mine before it was even listed.
Have won alot of the $10 Certificates also. some I never used. passed them on to a friend. either the sites prices where crazy or the postage was. didn't seem worth even using. But a few times I really got lucky and got a site with sales!!!. even had one place that sent me a extra yrd as a surprise.
Love doing the bunny searches my hubby thinks I'm nuts but one day when I win big I will laugh in his face LOL!!!

I'm new here and to quilting, and I did the Shop Hop and won a 2nd place prize (along with 5,000 other people -hahahaha). I love finding the patterns too. I got all of the cupcake patterns this last time and can't wait to attempt it for my granddaughters.........

I was a Second Place winner last year. I received some gorgeous fabric. 3-4 yards of assorted tone on tone whites. I keep hoping to win a AccuCut...

OOPS, I just hit the wrong button and deleted the whole world as we know it! Google Fab Shop Hop and everything will pop up. I keep track of the bunnies I find by writing down the quilt shop. It is an absolute hoot. It takes the cobwebs out in the morning and the fabrics and "toys" are fantastic to look at. And the best part, you don't leave home! No gas, no weather, you can sit there in your chenille robe (you know which one) and your holey slippers and your curlers and no one will see you and you can really enjoy yourself at your pace. It takes me about three weeks to get ALL of them. That is my goal each time. I gotta find that little critter if it kills me! And here I go again - in four more days.

Don't forget to put out your flag today - Veterans Day. Edie

You don't need to write down the shops. If you go to the member's area, you can click on shops visited and shops not visited. I always start hopping from the shops not visited page. Also I get an email for every bunny I find that tells the name of the shop.

Back in February (I think) I won a $10.00 prize from a shop. I e-mailed them with some questions, and they never answered. So I did't cost them anything.

And since then, I haven't had time to do another hop! Spending so much time job hunting instead of bunny hunting!

I didn't participate in the Shop Hop,but I did win a door prize,during the Shop Hop, I had some Fat Quarters,notions, and patterns to choose from.
I chose a pattern that was done by the former owner of the quilt shop!
That was a first for me to win too!

I've been doing the hops since my middle son was born, so about 8 years. I've won a few 10.00 gc, but because it ends up costing in the long run, some of them I don't use. I did win 2nd place this summer. I too received about 4 yards of white on white tonal print fabric. I haven't found a use for them yet, maybe labels.

I think the shops are fun and have loved the last 2 sampler quilt patterns. Much, much better than the patterns they used to include when they started!

I have really liked the different things the shops have to offer. Bookmarked a ton for their free patterns. I shop at a few too, but usually not during a hop. Just kinda works out that way.

You must register with the Shop Hop and then start visiting each of the sites. They give you a list with links. Once at the site, you keep looking all over for the photo of the bunny. Once you find the bunny, you click on it and it registers that you were there and found it. You must visit and find about 3/4 of them but the more the better your chance of winning... You find some great sites with fabric and notions. Sale items too...

Happy hopping...

HA! I read about your winning...you made me laugh! I pictured you as a little kid running into the room saying "I won, I won!" Congratulations! I'm very tickled for you! I hope you won something really cool!

Thanks everyone! I'm still reading your comments and I had to say something to this one: Here I am running in the room; "I WON! I WON!" LOL, that's exactly what i picture myself doing too, so now I am. I still haven't gotten anything, still waiting. Will let you know when it arrives. Now, on to more reading.

LOL Edie! I had no idea that was the trick to finding all the bunnies. I'll have to see what I can do about a chinelle robe and as for the curlers, well, I'm kinda bald, lol. Hmm, maybe a wig? I'll have to think about this one.

It's a game I play with myself. I try to find all of the bunnies and usually I do. I try to see how fast I can do it. I've been playing for several months and also enjoy collecting all the patterns. It makes me have fabric envy for all the fabrics I see and can't afford to buy. One day!

apparently persistance is the key. I can't tell you how long I've played this sweepstakes or that and the same with lotteries and probably every other you "name it" game and finally a little something. But the good news is I don't do it to win (or maybe?) I do it because it's fun and at least I have a chance. So I expect one day my ship will come in, I just hope I'm not at the train station.

Well, in retrospect this really isn't the FIRST time I've won. Thinking back about 17 years ago I won $2800 in a Bingo game. Now that was a win. I was shaking so bad I couldn't even sign my own name to the papers. So, I guess I have to say this is the first time I've won something in 17 years. Hope I don't have to wait that long for the next win.

I will let you know what I get.

I've heard many of you say you've won 2nd place and got white on white. If that's what I have to look forward to, I'm going to be very excited. I've been looking for some at a reasonable price. If that's what I get then it will be what I want at the perfect price. Can't beat that. Here's hoping.

OK y'all, you wanted to know when I received my prize and what it is. Well, I got it today. I got 4 yards of fabric. Each yard is different. The first is primarily red with white circles. The second is white with little red circles and red squigglies. The third is black with white flowers and the fourth is the opposite of the thrid. Its white with black flowers. I love it.

I also sent in a tip to AQS and got a daily planner calander for 2011. It's the Quilt Art 2011 Engagement Calander. There's a beautiful picture of a quilt on each page. It's beautiful and I can't wait to put stuff in it.

I would take pictues to show but my camera is on the fritz, sorry.

:thumbup: Well thats great!! Very happy for you! I get into the Shop Hop and get frustrated because I can never find the bunny! Ha! Oh well...someday.

11-22-2010 02:42 PM

I am doing the Fab Shop Hop also! I don't think it's right that the people who find just one of those little rascals gets the same chance to win as those of us that try to find all of them. I think they should put your name in one time for every bunny you find!
Thanks for letting me vent!

I try to find all the bunnies each month and I thought how unfair it was until I read the rules and determined my thought process isn't the case. Find the bunnies, win the prizes. Didn't find any? Sorry, no prizes for you.
