We’re making last minute preparations for our first “Sizzlin’ Santa Strip Run” (aka Christmas in July Shop Hop) with Colby Sew and Vac and The Quilt Cabin in Colby, and Smoky River Quilt Shoppe in Oakley. The shop hop is this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 12-14 from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. We hope you’ll join us for a day of quilting fun! At each shop, you can purchase a strip packet for $10 that will feature 5 red and 5 green 2 ½” Christmas strips. Collect all 4 strip packets and choose to make one of the four projects featured at each shop (or purchase more to make all 4!) – check out each shop’s project below. You do not have to purchase the strip packets, though, to participate in the shop hop. Visit each shop to get your passport stamped and you will receive a gift when you turn in your completed passport at the last shop. Completed passports will be entered into a drawing for one of four $50 gift baskets.
Our strip project is this “Christmas Cactus Wreath” quilt. You can choose what size to make: a tabletopper/wallhanging, throw, full or queen size quilt. Our quilt is a full-size quilt and measures 80” x 80”. We’ve added a little sparkle to our quilt by using a background fabric with gold metallic swirls, quilting it with gold metallic thread and adding red and green crystals to the cactus tips. Perfect for any holiday setting – and the log cabin blocks are so easy to make! Finishing kits will be available to purchase.
And here’s a peek at the other shop’s strip projects to help you select your favorite:
Colby Sew and Vac (throw size quilt)
Quilt Cabin (tree skirt)
Smoky River Quilt Shop (bed size quilt)
We’ll have treats to eat, new Christmas fabrics and projects to see, and 25% off select fabrics during the shop hop – so we hope you’ll join us for all the fun!
P.S. We’re pleased to tell you that the road construction between Leoti and Colby is complete, so you should not have to navigate any detours.
