This
shop hop has been an annual occurrence in the Southwestern Idaho,
Northeastern Oregon region for 22 years, and what fun we have had. We
have prizes for participants (with amazing grand prizes), activities,
opportunities to participate in a charitable cause, a chance to meet
with many other quilters, and best of all, lots of fun!
The Annual Treasure Hop is here!
This year we have made some changes and we hope you like them!
We will NOT be selling charity quilt blocks, but we will still be supporting Project Linus and Quilts of Valor
If
you would like to support these charities as well as be eligible for
discounts and prizes, you will need to purchase a Passport for $10
You may purchase as many passports as you wish, or you may simply do the Hop without any passport.
Each
year on the passports, there is a coupon good for a discount off one
item at each shop during the Hop. This year, we have increased the
discount from 10% to 20%!
We will be doing away with participation prizes, instead, we will have fewer but bigger prizes. The Grand Prize will be a new Bernina B 475 QE Kaffe Edition sewing machine!
You
will need to get your passport(s) stamped at every shop to be eligible
for prizes, but you won't be guaranteed a small prize just for
completing your passport. The more passports you purchase, the more
chances you have to win prizes!
We
will not be giving out special Shop Hop bags this year. We have
reallocated the funds that would normally purchase the bags to instead
purchase better prizes!
Instead
of having a color theme (since we aren't making coordinating charity
blocks), each shop has chosen one quilt pattern from Villa Rosa Designs.
During the Hop, each person who enters each shop will get a pattern
card for that quilt pattern for free. The pattern cards will be
distributed one per person, regardless of whether the Hopper has a
passport or not, and regardless of how many passports the person has,
they will only get one pattern card from each shop.
What remains the same:
The Hop is ten days long: April 18-27
Regardless
of any shop's normal business hours, all shops in the Hop will be open
from at least 9 AM to 6 PM each day of the shop, except Sunday, when the
shops will be open from 10 AM to 5 PM. Shops always have the option to
be open longer hours than these, but we will for sure be open at least
these hours.
During
the Hop, all shops will be pet-free. We will not be having our pets in
our shops for those ten days, and we respectfully ask that you leave
your pets home, too.
