About the Shop Hop
Dark Star Fabrics is among 26 independent fabric shops welcoming you to the 25th annual Maine Quilt Shop Hop.
The Shop Hop offers a great way for quilters and fiber artists to roam around Maine from shop to shop before the tourists arrive.
As you “hop” to each shop, you will receive a 5-inch charm square. In addition to the charm square, Dark Star Fabrics visitors will receive a free gift and a chance to enter our drawing for weekly prizes.
When you visit five or more shops, you are eligible for state-wide prizes and you can vote for your favorite Shop Challenge Quilt.
Maine Designer Ericka O’Rourke designed this year’s exclusive Shop Hop fabrics. Northcott Fabrics made the ten custom prints and two custom panels, along with eight blenders. They will be available only at Maine Quilt Shop Hop shops. The Loons (close-up pictured) is one of our favorites.
