You may ask, 'What is an Ultimate Shop Hop?". I say it is an exciting concept that came about in 2008. In May of 2008 WRBQ, Inc. - "We'd Rather Be Quilting" announced the introduction of The Ultimate Shop Hop - a coast-to-coast, build-your-own, one-of-a-kind shop hop experience with 4,500 shops to choose from! 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! WRBQ, Inc. has an official motto of, 'Quilters Helping Quilters'. Keeping that in mind, we can see how the shop hop perfectly fits into that concept. When quilters participate in The Ultimate Shop Hop, small businesses are supported, as well as fellow quilters across the nation. On their journeys, in their own states or across the country, quilters can meet and connect with other quilters while participating in The Ultimate Shop Hop. So too can the many quilt shop owners connect in new ways with the quilters from various parts of the country. The Ultimate Shop Hop designed by WRBQ, Inc. has created the perfect opportunity. As quilters travel from quilt shop to quilt shop participating in The Ultimate Shop Hop many will become enthused and excited by the many new ideas they see or hear about. Where with your average quilting shop hop you have anywhere from 3-5 days to complete the required number of visits to participating quilt shops, there is an advantage with The Ultimate Shop Hop in that you have 6 months to make the rounds. As you arrive at each chosen quilt shop you have the passport stamped or signed to indicate you have been at that particular quilt shop. The quilt shops have all been provided with the information about The Ultimate Shop Hop. There is more information for both the quilters and shop owners on the WRBQ's website. Once you have filled the passport with stamps from quilt shops the passport is then returned to WRBQ, Inc. to qualify for the prizes. There are 4 major category prizes and then each participant receives a thank you gift from the quilt shop directory WRBQ, Inc. The winner's names are listed on the WRBQ, Inc. website. What more could a quilter, new or old ask for?
