7th Annual Western NY Shop Hop
Posted By Margaret on June 11, 2010
S.A.B.L.E. Club - September 2010
This weekend is the 7th Annual Western New York Shop Hop. It includes 9 stores in the Rochester and Buffalo area: Betty’s Quilting Etc., Ivy Thimble, Mt. Pleasant Quilting, Aurora Sewing Center-East Aurora, Aurora Sewing Center-Clarence, The Carriage Quilt Shop, Country Treasures, Marie’s Sewing Center, Seams Sew Perfect, and Sew What. You can pick up a list of shops and addresses at any of these stores. It started on Wednesday, June 9 and runs through Sunday, June 13. Hours are Wednesday through Friday, 9 am – 7 pm, Saturday, 9 am – 5 pm and Sunday 12 – 4 pm. Shop hops are always a fun way to check out what’s new at your local and area quilt shops. Even if you can’t make it to all of the shops, I hope you can make it to some. There is usually a big drawing for those who complete the shop hop, but each individual store also has specials and often some nice freebies.

I recently went on another shop hop in May which included 7 shops, all in the Rochester area. I didn’t make it to all of the stores, but I did get to visit a new store in the center of Caledonia, Chestnut Bay Quilting. I discovered they had a huge collection of batiks and purchased most of the brown and teal fabrics which are in the quilt shown here. This quilt is the sample for my first S.A.B.L.E. club coming up this fall in September. As soon as I have dates and times for all of my fall classes, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, I’ll post the new samples in my blog as I get them made. So be sure and check back throughout the summer for a preview of my upcoming new classes!
