Quilt shops across Maine invite you to hop in and shop between August 1-31. Check out each shop's Challenge Quilt, get your passport stamped, and explore each shop's unique personality and offerings! State of Maine Quilt Shop Hop ​​ The 2020 Shop Hop: held August 1-31, 2020! ​ Welcome to the 20th anniversary year of the annual State of Maine Quilt Shop Hop! For more than two decades, independently owned quilt shops of Maine have collaborated by inviting their customers to spend a month "hopping" from shop to shop. Hoppers print passports and have them stamped at each of the shops they visit. At the end of the month, hoppers mail in their completed passports and are entered for a number of wonderful prizes. Prizes are donated by the local shops and the companies and manufacturers who make the fabrics, books, patterns and notions that we all love. In 2019, there were over 900 hoppers and prizes valued at over $20,000!
