In May of 2008 The Ultimate Shop Hop came about. This concept expands your average shop hop to new and greater heights. Brought to quilters by the makers of the most complete and up to date quilt shop directory, WRBQ, Inc. introduced The Ultimate Shop Hop with 4,500 shops to choose from it is a one-of-a-kind, build-your-own, coast-to-coast shop hop experience like no other!
Exclusively featured in WRBQ Inc.'s Regional Directories and National Directory beginning with the 11th Edition, The Ultimate Shop Hop encourages quilters to become better acquainted with the quilting community. Quilters may request a stamp on their passport when they visit any shop listed in the directory - two stamps if they visit a shop which advertises with WRBQ, Inc -- making this truly a nationwide shop hop, one in which anyone and everyone can participate. Passports are included in the Quilt Shop Directories, currently for sale on the company's website www.wrbqinc.com and at many quilt shops. Two great quilting buddies were visiting one day about the annual shop hop that they do in their local area. They were laughing and talking and decided that someday they'd like to visit all of the shops across the country, each and every one! Thus the idea for The Ultimate Shop Hop was born.
The idea of The Ultimate Shop Hop came about when two longtime friends and quilting compadres ended up discussing their local annual shop hop that they had participated in for a number of years. As this discussion progressed with memories of the fun they had had it was decided that someday they'd like to hop to all quilt shops from here to there across the country!
The owner and employees at WRBQ, Inc. the most complete and accurate quilt shop directory believe The Ultimate Shop Hop lends direction to their company motto of 'Quilters Helping Quilters'. Across the country quilters will be supporting small businesses who by the way are also fellow quilters. With the The Ultimate Shop Hop giving quilt shop owners more access to connect with quilters and artists from various parts of the country the hop also avails quilters the opportunity to connect with other quilters they meet at the many varied quilt shops they visit. With the goal of getting quilters on the move and the Ultimate Shop Hop fits the bill.
Seeing a new technique or tool as they travel from quilt shop to quilt shop can inspire and spur on the creativeness of any quilter, young or old. When participating in your average quilting shop hop making it to the required number of participating quilt shops much be accomplished in anywhere from 3-5 days. The Ultimate Shop Hop gives all quilters an advantage as there is almost 6 months to take on the challenge.
