Oct 1, 2026
Hi!

Happy October! 🍂

🌾 SPIRIT OF THE PLAINS — STARTS TODAY!

This year’s Central Kansas Quilt Shop Hop — SPIRIT OF THE PLAINS — takes place Thursday, October 1 through Saturday, October 10!

That’s a full 10 days to visit all 8 participating shops!

Today, Thursday, we open at 9 am and we will be here until 8 pm! Repeat tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, open until 8 pm!

Also, Sunday this weekend, 11 am - 4 pm!

With extended hours this first weekend, including Sunday, we’re hoping you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the Hop, visit old favorites, discover new shops, and collect all 8 stamps.

🧵 NEVER DONE A SHOP HOP?
Here’s how ours works:

1. Pick up your Passport.
At the first shop you visit, you’ll receive your official Shop Hop passport.

2. Visit all 8 shops.
Each participating shop will stamp your passport when you visit.

3. Collect a free project pattern.
You’ll receive a different project pattern at each shop.

4. Register for door prizes.
Each shop will have its own special door prizes you can register to win.

5. First-time Hopper?
Ask for a special “First Time Hopper” button at the shop where you pick up your passport!

6. Turn in your Passport.
At the last shop you visit, turn in your completed passport.

Visit at least 4 shops and you’ll be eligible for prizes, including gift baskets filled with fabric, patterns, and notions.

Visit ALL 8 shops, and you’ll also have a chance at the Grand Prize: a Deluxe Organization/Storage Bundle!

And there’s more…

🎁 Complete all 8 shops and receive a FREE Thank You Gift when you turn in your fully stamped passport.

🧩 AND THEN THERE ARE THE QUILTS!

Each shop will have its own individual block kit — block pattern + block fabric + mini-panel — available for purchase.

Every shop will also have a unique quilt made from the Shop Hop blocks and fabrics.

And this is one of our favorite parts…

See how different each quilt can be even when everyone starts with the same basic blocks!

Each shop will also offer a Finishing Kit for its quilt, so you can collect the blocks you love and make your own favorite version.

All 8 shops work hard throughout the year to make this event something special, and we’re getting ready NOW!

We’ve geared up with new models, new ideas, and lots of fun things for you to discover.

Starting next week, SPECIAL SHOPPING HOURS, Oct 5 - 10, opening at 9 am and closing at 5 pm, so you can get started early, and check out all our newest models and FABRIC LINES, whether you're shop hopping or not.

Come stock up on supplies and get some sewing time logged in for yourself!

The following Saturday is Second Saturday — October 10! Stay tuned for those details!

🧵Let’s get this October off to a great start!

Hope to see you soon!
