A Creative Adventure Across Central Oregon

Taking place April 24 & 25, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, this two-day event invites participants to start on a quilting adventure. The Shop Hop is designed as an interactive experience where attendees travel from one quilt shop to another, exploring the unique offerings and personality of each location.

Each shop brings its own distinctive style, curated fabrics, and creative energy-making every stop a new source of inspiration.

The Mystery Quilt Experience

At the heart of the event is the ever-popular Mystery Quilt, designed this year by Karen Walker of Laugh Yourself into Stitches Patterns. Known for her creative flair and engaging designs, Karen brings an added layer of excitement to the event with a pattern that promises to be both inspiring and fun to piece together.

As you visit each shop, you’ll collect portions of the mystery pattern along with a fat eighth of exclusive featured fabric- available only to Shop Hop participants. With every stop, the mystery quilt take shape, building anticipation as your quilt comes to life piece by piece.

More Than Just Fabric

While the fabrics and patterns are certainly a highlight, the Shop Hop is about much more than materials. It’s about:

• Community – Connecting with fellow quilters, sharing ideas, and building friendships
• Inspiration – Discovering new techniques, color combinations, and project ideas
• Exploration – Visiting local quilt shops you may not have experienced before
• Fun – Enjoying a lively, welcoming atmosphere filled with creativity

Many shops will also feature special promotions, exclusive deals, and in-store inspiration displays, making it the perfect time to stock up on supplies or start your next project.
