A Quilt Shop Adventure

This is a new kind of shop hop. Spend the 10 days to visit the 10 shops and if you complete your passport, you will be eligible for the many prizes that we are have this year.

 

  • Free Patterns
  • Visit with friends
  • Spend time at the shops, rather than race around the cities.

 

 

 

The fourth Annual Harvest Sampler will begin on October 4, 2007. The ten shops represent the vast diversity of the Twin Cities. We are pleased to introduce our new logo representing the Harvest Sampler Shop Hop.

 

This year, we are pleased to announce that each shop will be featuring a local designer. Check out the shops for their favorite designers. The shops will have extra patterns, as well as a trunk show from their featured designer - just a sampling of the extraordinary talent in the Minnesota/Wisconsin area.

Thank You

The shops wish to thank the visitors and "hoppers" during the 2006 Harvest Sampler. Everyone seemed to like the time span.

 

We received some comments and have tried to incorporate them into this year's Harvest Sampler. This website is an example of trying to keep our visitors up-to-date. We will be providing descriptions of the shops, shop hours, contact names and of course, the biggest on the WishList, directions from one shop to the next.
