April is Maine Quilt Shop Hop month. At Dark Star Fabrics, you’ll find new fabrics and old favorites, including Maine’s largest selection of Authentic Aboriginal Fabrics.
With the addition of another display room, Dark Star Fabrics is bigger and better than ever. Whether or not you are a Hopper, make your plans to come to our retail store in April. You can find us at 30 Main Street in Phillips.
About the Shop Hop
This is the 24th year that independent fabric shops in Maine have come together to offer the Shop Hop. It’s a great way for quilters and fiber artists to discover new shops and check in with old favorites.
As you “hop” to each shop, you will receive a 5-inch charm square of the featured fabric line, Honeybloom from Moda Fabrics. An exclusive pattern for a table runner, designed to use all 25 charm squares, is available at shops and online (pdf). Hoppers who visit multiple shops are eligible for prizes and can vote for their favorite Shop Challenge Quilt.
Pictured is A Ribbon Runs Through It, Dark Star Fabrics’ 2024 Shop Challenge Quilt. Find out more about this quilt here ➔.
