The big day may have come and gone, but keep in touch as we’re always up to something new and exciting.
Additional shops may
be added soon!
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.
There will also be one quilt pattern coordinating all blocks,
available for FREE download starting Thursday 8/22
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.

The chain of cornerstones pulls together this
Vintage Memories quilt - 40" square (before borders)
