We’re so excited! Donations from some very generous and wonderful companies have been arriving to be given out as prizes to many lucky 2019 Wyoming Quilt Shop Hop participants! Mark your calendars! The Wyoming Quilt Shop Hop will be from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

You can see what has kept me busy in my “spare” time the past two weeks.  Getting all the prizes for the 2018 Shop Hop packaged up, addressed, and ready to ship out has been no small task.  Today almost all went out in the mail.  Quite a line backed up behind me at the Post Office as the clerk cheerfully dealt with 50+ packages!

Here is a list of the top winners whose names were drawn after the top two prizes we announced last week.  If a prize was sponsored by a company it is listed.  Additional prizes included in each package included books and notions sponsored by the Wyoming Quilt Shop Hop shops themselves.

In addition, this year every shop hopper that visited all 26 shops received a prize consisting of a quilting book plus items drawn from an assortment of notions sponsored by the WQSH shops plus a wool applique kit from Week’s Dye Works.

As a fun surprise for all the rest of the shop hoppers that sent in passports that had visited at least 13 shops but were not drawn for the prizes above,  we sent a gift of appreciation for taking the time to shop with the Premier Wyoming Independent Quilt Shops.  So, if you sent in a qualifying passport, watch your mail box during the next few days for a package to arrive!

We hope your shop hop was a fun adventure this summer, and please come back and visit each participating shop again.

 

We have announced the top two winners for the Wyoming Shop Hop Prizes for 2018.

We had 63 passports returned this year.  Remember, every person who got a stamp at all 26 shops will receive a gift.  This will be in addition to any prize that they win if their number is drawn.

Loreen Moore from Rock Springs is the grand prize winner of the Babylock Molly
Sewing Machine.

Mary Burgess from Casper is the winner of the Tutto Machine Case.

We have many other wonderful prizes and the names of winners will be listed as soon as possible.  Watch this space!

 

Have you gotten around to all the shops participating in the Wyoming Shop Hop 2018?  We have seen many shop hoppers and all are reporting that it has been a fun and wonderful experience.  Visiting the shops, seeing all the fabrics, quilts, notions, books, patterns and whatever else the shop owners have in store for you is definitely the highlight of the shop hop.  But then there are all the prizes yet to be awarded to look forward to.  Each shop will be drawing for a $50 gift certificate or prize to be spent at their store.  Just think, if you were REALLY LUCKY and won at every shop, you would receive $1300 value in prizes!  Most of us would be elated to win at one shop – but your odds increase every shop you visit.

Then there are the Grand Prize and many more lovely items to be given away to those who send their qualified passport in by September 14 to the address that is on the passport.

Here are some of the prizes that will be awarded:

For those who submit a passport stamped by all 26 shops, there will be a goodie bag going out your way when prizes are awarded, plus you will get 2 chances to win the other prizes.  Visiting at least 13 shops will give you one entry into the drawing.

Keep shopping – you still have almost 4 weeks left to get those passports stamped!
