We are excited to present the 3rd Annual WAQA ShopHop
7 -13 March 2019 Country Week and 14 – 17 March Metropolitan Perth
What a better way to support the quilting industry in Western Australia than to visit all the unique and different 2019 participating quilt shops.
For the last 3 years quilters, sewers, crafters and fabric enthusiasts have been participating in the annual WAQA Shop Hop. This year will be even more spectacular. Join us for 2 fun filled weeks packed with informative demos, unique quilt samples, fabulous fabrics, threads, raffles, specials and so much more!!
ShopHop Passports are available for purchase at all participating patchwork shops. $10 will entitle you to a passport of fun, adventure and many many great prizes.
As you travel the State, each shop will stamp your passport and give you a free 5” fabric square (exclusive to individual shop, a chosen fabric that represents them). The passport owner must always be present to receive stamp and charm. The more stamps you receive, the higher chance of prizes.
Continue visiting any and all participating shops to fill up your passport! ‘You make it what it is – do as much or as little of the hop as you choose’. We suggest traveling with a loved-one, family or friends, plan a few day trips, jump on the Country Bus (SOLD OUT) and enjoy the inspiration you’ll find while visiting WA’s Finest Quilt Shops!

I’ve only just learnt about this event even though I have subscribed to the newsletters to quite a few of the shops involved. After checking the web, I was soo surprised we have soo many quilt shops in WA
We are very lucky to have such amazing choices, when it comes to buying fabrics and notions! I love everything about our quilt shops
