I came in on the end of the July one - only got 1 pattern for the Spring Sampler. How do I get the rest of the patterns and do I have to register for every new "hop"?
No, you don't have to "register" for the hop each time. Once you've logged in, they remember who you are from your last visit.
I've had some fun trying this, but I can never find the time to actually complete the whole list. I almost think they are hurting themselves by requiring 100% completion for a chance to win the grand prize. I sail through the sites looking for the bunny without spending much time looking at the shops' products.

Nancy,
It's not too difficult to find all the bunnies. Most of the shops tell you where to find them. Some shops don't change the location month to month so I know where to find it.
You can save shops to favourites for later perusal. If I like the look of a page I save it.
August 21 - 25 they have pie days. You get 90 or so pie recipes and quilt blocks. Each shop had 3 blocks and 3 recipes last year.
Yum!
Is there a theme to the blocks?

MNnancy: Yum! Is there a theme to the blocks?
Just pies. Some are slices others are whole pies.
I've done them for probably the past year, year and a half. I have won a lot of $10 gcs but I admit I don't always use them. Sometimes the shops just don't have anything I like.
Leslie,I'm doing a shop hop in MO,also.I'm in the KC area ,There is a '10 shop hop' with all the smaller communities participating.Guess it starts in Oct. and we have a week to visit all the shops.Some like Warrensburg and Higginsville will be a day trip but I hope to visit as many as I can. Hope you have a great time .I hope to. Barbara
EAT!! SLEEP !! QUILT!!
Kris - I've done the Bunny Shop Hop before, but it's been about a year since I did it last. Is the pie days you mentioned from that same web group or is that from something different? I like the idea of finding recipes along with the blocks. I'ld like to try that one.

Annette,
yes it's from fabshop hop also. There's no bunny hop in August but they have pie days.
I tried an brick and mortar shop hop over a year ago and I got really sick trying to get to all the shops. After that experience I vowed to stick to the online hop.
Tha;nks Kris!
