Welcome to ABQ Shop Hop!
Discover the Art of Quilting at ABQ Shop Hop
Our New Mexico quilting community is strong, vibrant, and creative!
The ABQ Shop Hop is a fun activity for quilters and fabric collectors to enjoy
the craft we all love, experience new shops, and make new friends!
So, grab some friends and enjoy a weekend of hopping from shop to shop.
Pick up your Passport at the first participating shop you visit
& get it stamped at each additional shop you visit.
Leave your full Passport with the last shop
& you’ll be entered for the grand prize drawings!
All shops will have a unique block and coordinated project using their block.
The block pattern will be FREE at each shop
Block fabric kits will be available for $8.99 (while supplies last).
Project patterns will be available to make a memorable 2024 ABQ Shop Hop project.
Each shop will also be designing a quilt pattern coordinating all blocks,
with quilt kits for sale in their shop!
2024 Shop Hop theme is... "Enchanting"!
All the shops will design a
unique quilt block that goes along with
the selected theme, and will contain shared colors for a cohesive quilt project.
(This year, shops will also be designing
custom setting kits for you to choose from!)
PLAN AHEAD, BRING A FRIEND (or THREE!)
