Thank you for the information. I will add it to the site. I'm not sure why the contact information doesn't work in all browsers. You can email me directly at dayna@quiltersresources.net.

I just love to use that comment when talking to other parents, it's a comment that always gets a chuckle and puts a smile on their face.

Some times I wish there was just a "LIKE" button!

I love the quote "this son gives a return on our investment"

Great thread.

Here is a link to another hop in Washington State. This one is loads of fun and each shop gives out a free fat quarter plus drawings for prizes. Last year the top prize was a Singer Featherweight. Plus it's in a gorgeous part of the state, the Olympic Peninsula. So far they don't have 2013 information on the website but I've emailed them to ask about the event.

Hi Hcimm55, I hope you let us know how you like your shop hop. I have never done a physical shop hop. Only a virtual one.

QR, that's an ambitious undertaking. It may be difficult locating all shop hops because some of them are word-of-mouth via quilt guilds & shops.

I looked for your guild listings. That will be another challenging area as some guilds are not online. I tried to email you the name of the guild I belong to, but the "contact me" button did not bring up an email dialog box. In Minnesota, the Ripple River Quilters meet in Aitkin, MN, on the second Tuesday of each month.

I "liked" you on Facebook so I can follow the progress you make. Thanks for offering this service!

I started a quilting web site that lists shops, guilds, events, shop hops, anything quilt related, throughout the US and Canada. I'm still inputting compiling for all of the states, but the shop hop directory is full of great events: http://quiltersresources.net/shophops_usa.html

Hi Donna, thank you that's the one! My son just got done living in anchorage for five years, and I had fun visiting quilt shops there. So looking forward to Seattle. My son says this is the biggest shop hop in Washington? Someone he worked with in anchorage travels down from anchorage to attend this hop. If I would like to attend my husband is sending me for my birthday/ valentines day (both dates are close to each other). Trying to get a feel if it is as big as they advertise?

I don't post very much....I have done a couple mystery quilts from this site, but I am kind of quiet.... :)

I live in western ny and our quilt shops are quite a distance from each other. Right now we are very fortunate that two new shops have opened....but in ny the question is always will the small business survive?????

thank you for your response, michelle
