Our 12th Annual Bluebonnet Patchwork Trail Shop Hop was great fun. The hop was held April 15 -18, 2010.

We had 753 hoppers finish the hop by visiting all 10 of the hop stores.

Each of the people completing the hop were entered into the drawing for 11 prizes. The winner of the Grand Prize Basket, drawn from all 753 hoppers who completed the hop was Carolyn Hazard of San Antonio, Texas.

In addition, each shop held a drawing from everyone who signed up in their shop during the hop, regardless of whether they completed the whole hop. 10 lucky people received a $25.00 gift certificate to each shop. Creations had around 1400 people in our shop during the hop.



The Creations' theme for the 2010 shop hop was a no-brainer as we are...

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Here's a quick look at our Construction Crew in action. (In case you are curious, the Under Construction theme is a reference to the beautiful retreat center, The Main House, that Creations' is remodeling next door to our store.)

The 2011 Shop Hop will be: April 7 - 10, 2011

The hours will be:

Here's how the Bluebonnet Patchwork Trail Shop Hop works:

There are 12 quilt shops on our hop for 2011. (The Shop Hop stores and their websites are listed at the end of this page. ) Pick up a "Trail Ticket" at the first shop you visit. Have your trail ticket stamped at each shop and turn it in at the last shop. Use our Shop Hop Driving Tour to help plan and guide your trip.

A completed ticket will get your name entered for the Grand Prize as well as 10 other great prizes:

    • The Grand Prize is a Great Bag of Gift Certificates and Merchandise - total value over $1500.
    • There are also 10 other merchandise bags valued at over $300.

The Bluebonnet Patchwork Trail also features:
Individual Drawings-
Register at each store for their individual drawings- 10 $25.00 gift certificates per store. You do not have to visit all 10 stores to be eligible for these individual store drawings. Just be sure to register at each store that you do visit!
 
Give Aways in each Shop-
A fat quarter to all "hoppers".
A step to the Official Shop Hop Quilt. Check out each shop's interpretation of the quilt.
And of course, refreshments!

The 2010 Jeep Collins sterling silver Shop Hop Charms were beautiful! These went quickly during the hop and after our first reorder, so we ordered even more. The latest order has arrived and we are now shipping! They sell for $35.00 each.

Block Challenge
Each year, during the hop, we sponsor a Block Challenge where participants create and submit a block using our challenge fabric and the blocks are given to a charity at the end of the event. Prizes are awarded to the top 3 winners in each category. In 2010, The Grand Prize, chosen from all the categories, received a Fabric Basket valued at over $300.00. 1st thru 3rd place winners in each cateogry received fabric bundles valued at $150, $100 and $50 respectively.

2009 Block Challenge Fabric2010 Block Challenge Results
Our 2010 Challenge fabric is shown to the right. Blocks could be submitted in 4 categories: Pieced Blocks, Applique Blocks, Combination Blocks, and Embellished & 3 Dimensional Blocks. 

The winning blocks and all the submitted blocks were displayed in the Shop Hop stores throughout the 4 days of the hop and everyone thought they were adorable.

The Bluebonnet Patchwork Shop Hop thanks everyone who participated.
There were over 300 entrees and each and every block is a winner for the kids at Camp Brave Heart. After the hop, the blocks will be donated to Hospice Austin's Camp Brave Heart. Camp Brave Heart is a recreational camp with grief support for kids ages 6 through 17 who have experienced the loss of a loved one due to death. Blocks received from this challenge will end up in a quilt that will be received by a child at this camp.
