WHAT IS THE SHOP HOP?
The All Minnesota Shop Hop brings together sewing and quilting enthusiasts from across Minnesota and neighboring states. The event will run April 1 through May 31 in 2024. The All Minnesota Shop Hop Magazine is your guide to all things about the event, participating stores and sponsors. The Magazine also includes valuable patterns, projects and articles along with the official passport and maps. Each participating store offers the exclusive Shop Hop fabric, along with other give-aways, raffles and prizes. Participants have their passport stamped at each store they visit to qualify for additional prizes. Check out these Frequently Asked Questions.

1. GET THE MAGAZINE
Visit any of our participating stores to get your All Minnesota Shop Hop Magazine. It features everything you need for your Great Sewing Adventures™. Many stores will also sell the magazine online.

  • Magazines will be available about 6 weeks before the event begins at participating Shop Hop Stores.
  • Besides an Official Passport and Map of Stores, the magazine contains patterns, articles and other resources for sewing and quilting.
  • The magazine notes special Shop Hop store hours and Regional and State maps that make it easy to plan your route.
  • Each person in your party will need a passport in order to register for prizes.
  • You’ll want to reference your magazine all year. Use it to find a quilt shop whenever you are meandering the country roads of Minnesota. Be inspired by the patterns, projects and articles.

2. Exclusive Shop Hop Fabrics
Each year we have custom fabric designed exclusively for the All Minnesota Shop Hop. The fabric is sold only at Shop Hop stores during the event.

  • The 2024 exclusive All Minnesota Shop Hop Fabrics were designed by QT Fabrics.
  • Check with stores to find out which fabrics they will carry. Some stores allow pre-orders of fabric, but you won’t be able to pick up your purchase until after the first day of the Shop Hop.
  • Our exclusive Shop Hop Fabrics often sell out, so be sure to pick some up when you see it. When it’s gone, it’s gone!
