All New England Shop Hop - 2025
See you next Year!! Sept. 1st-Oct. 31st
We are so excited to be participating in the ANESH again this year hosted by Shop Hop Inc. Their mission is to promote the textile arts by bringing together sewing and quilting enthusiasts in support of local stores and communities. This Shop Hop event features a magazine, exclusive fabrics, giveaways, patterns and prizes.
The All New England Shop Hop Magazine is your guide to all things about the event. In addition, you will find patterns, articles and resources for sewing and quilting. Your magazine will be a great reference even after the Shop Hop has ended. Use it as inspiration for a new project, or to find a quilt shop as you meander through Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Each year we have custom fabric designed exclusively for the All New England Shop Hop. The fabric is sold only at Shop Hop stores during the event. This year the fabric was designed by Benartex and it had a true New England vibe.
In addition to having your Passport stamped, you may pick up a free quilt block from each store you visit on your Great Sewing Adventures™ Across New England! Passports are found inside every magazine!
Thanks to our generous industry and store sponsors, hundreds of prizes are available to All New England Shop Hop participants.
- Be sure to have your Passport stamped at each store you visit.
- All winners are selected by random drawing from qualifying Passports received by deadline TBD.
