Celebrate Make a Quilt Day, April 18th
Make a Spring Sampler with the April FabShop Hop!

The April FabShop Hop brings FabShop Hoppers a special challenge just for spring. In addition to hopping and shopping, celebrate spring and Make a Quilt Day, April 18, by collecting blocks to create our exclusive Spring Sampler quilt top. Keep an eye out for the following spring-themed blocks:

Dancing Daffodils	Tulips All Around	Regal Iris
Primrose Path	Pincushion Flowers	Mellow Yellow Rose
Magnolia in Bloom	Potted Geraniums	Crazy for Cosmos
Bed of Lilies	Bloomin’ Crocus	Bachelor Buttons

Collect your Spring Sampler blocks to make your quilt.

Just like the Bonus Bunnies you’ve found in previous hops, these blocks are moving around to different shops continually. The quilt blocks circulate through the "Prize Verification Confirmation Page." Be persistent to collect all twelve. You may need to “re-hop” to find all of the blocks. You can keep searching for blocks even if you have already found all the youfoundit bunnies for this hop, just visit the shops again. When you find a block, click on the block to download a PDF of a block & the assembly instruction.

At the end of the April Hop, the 13th block and the quilt assembly will be available for download to all FabShop Hoppers who found at least ONE youfoundit bunny during the April Hop.

Spring Sampler Show ‘n’ Tell Challenge in June!

In celebration of Make a Quilt Day, we will also host a Spring Sampler Show ‘n’ Tell Challenge in June. Here’s how:

• Make a finished quilt top from the Spring Sampler pattern. Creativity is encouraged.
• Take a great digital photo of your quilt and submit it to info@fabshopnet.com by no later than June 1, 2010. The image must be 300 dpi, and 4 inches wide.
• Give your quilt a name.

Read the How to Hop guidelines on the Hop Main Page and the Rules of the Game then click on April List of Shops.

On that page, you will find a list of all the sites participating in the April FabShop Hop. At each site you visit, look around and find the white bunny with the pink background that says 'youfoundit' with April dates — click on the bunny, and a prize registration page will come up — enter your email address and click on the "register for prizes" button.

This sends a message to our database that you registered for prizes at the site. You will receive a Thank You message and an email confirmation that you have registered at that site. You can then continue shopping at that site or go back to the home page for that site and continue on the Hop. You can also view a list of shops where you have already successfully located the 'youfoundit' bunny in the Member Area

No question, just a HUGE THANK YOU for the FabShopHops. They are such fun and I've discovered a whole new world of fabrics! Already some of the shop owners are like old friends and I've only met them via email.

Thanks again,
Mary

I'm so excited. This is my third shop hop this year. I'm hooked. It is so much fun looking at new web sites, seeing the fabrics and notions available around the country and beyond. I was shocked when I won a $10.00 gift certificate in the Holiday hop. I got something for myself and something to share with my friend that's teaching me to quilt. What fun! I look forward to more hops.

Thanks,
Julie
