We're getting ready for a party....or more specificially a shop hop! We're having two this summer. The first, the Illiana Shop Hop, begins next week on June 12, 13, 14. Our theme is "Birds of a Feather," and each block from the eleven participating shops contains a bird, a birdhouse, or a flower. Contained in each block is a hidden heart to symbolize our support of the American Heart Association which receives $1.00 of each passport sale. Go to www.illianashophop.com to view the quilts that each of the shops have created. Don't miss out on our first great "party" of the season with door prizes, give-aways, and special discounts to passport holders. You can purchase your passport from any one of the shops during the shop hop if you don't already have one.
Our next shop hop is the East Central Illinois Shop Hop on July 10, 11, & 12th. This event includes twelve shops in the eastern and southern parts of Illinois. Northcott Quest for a Cure is the sponsor, and proceeds from passport sales and raffled quilt items go to breast cancer research. Click on our website, www.threadsoftimefab.com and go to the upcoming events and East Central Illinois shop Hop.
Yes, as we mentioned in our previous blog, Bill and I have been gardening. Thanks for the postings about the color combinations and the flowers. The lively plantings just add to the joy of the events!

If you have never been on a shop hop, your really missing out. They are not only a lot of fun to do but, you meet friends that you haven't seen for some time. Also a lot of new ideas, as well as new material. Especially Christmas, this is when a lot of that is put out for the first time. So pack a lunch or plan to eat at a favorite place. Lets go shopping.
