State of Maine 25th Anniversary Shop Hop
April 1 - 30
Celebrating 25 Years!
For 25 years, independently-owned quilts shops of Maine have collaborated by inviting their customers to spend the month of April hopping from shop to shop. Customers print out “passports” and have them stamped at each shop. There are goodie bags, in-store drawings, demonstrations and more! At the end of the month, hoppers send their completed passport and are entered for a number of wonderful prizes! Perhaps even better than the prizes, hoppers rediscover why they fell in love with quilting in the first place or begin their quilting journey.
