Maine Quilt Shop Hop Basics

How to Hop
Simply visit as many participating Quilt Shops between April 1st and April 30, 2012. You will be given a Passport at the first shop. Have your Passport stamped at each shop you visit.  It's a great way to see beautiful Maine during glorious springtime!

A Charming Idea
Each Shop will give Shop Hoppers a FREE 5" Hoffman Batik Charm Square!   

Your Exclusive Pattern
A free, downloadable Pattern, designed exclusively for Maine Quilt Shop Hop by Portland's own Auntie's Two. This is a limited-time pattern! After April 30, 2012 it will no longer be available for download so get yours now!

Fun for All Ages
Children ages 7-17 can hop too, with one lucky junior-hopper winning a sewing machine.   

Not a Quilter? No Problem
Have someone driving you around? "Chauffeurs" can enter their own prize drawing for a $100 LL Bean Gift Card.

Prizes? How about $14,000.00 worth
Lots of prizes with different levels for visiting all shops or some shops!

Challenge Quilts & Voting
As you travel to each shop, please take a look at their Challenge Quilt!   Every shop made a quilt using common fabrics.    Vote for your favorite and be eligible to win the "Voter's Prize" - entry into Maine Quilts 2012 this summer, where all the Challenge Quilts will be on display.
