good morning! today is the second day of the 20th Quilt Minnesota Shop Hop. can you believe that this shop hop has been around for 2 decades! i can still remember the first year and how we weren’t sure if it would be a hit. well it was and here we are 20 years later.
every year, starting in 2010, we compiled a booklet (we did several patterns in 2009, but they were offered singly) and after trying to keep track of what we had printed…it was easier just to do a booklet of them all together. (2010 was also a Winter themed collection…remember the blue snowflake collection from Moda…it was a favorite!)
anyways…this year like the last we’ve put together a booklet…Minnesota Countryside which features 5 Minnesota projects.
this is our display this year…a little compact compared to previous years when we had it on the porch…however, i like the cozy feels it has.
and the projects are…
Valley View 52 x 54 inches kitted up here.
Piece of Cake…86 x 86 inches…kits here.
Countryside Winter…74 x 74 inches…kits here.
Frostwork runner & square…8 x 24 inches and 16 x 16 inches…kits are available here.
we hope you can join us for the shop hop this year…our region is only 4 shops this year so a quick trip and lots of fun. the last day is August 15th if you fancy taking part in the 20th year.
