<span style="color: #00007f; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">Maine
Quilt Shop Hop is an annual event in the State of Maine.
Participating Independent Quilt Shops invite "Shop Hoppers" to pick up a
passport at any of the stores to start the hop, then visit as many
stores as you can between April 1st and April 30. You have your
Passport stamped at each shop you visit. It's a great way to see
beautiful Maine during glorious springtime, and have a chance at winning
some of the up to $15,000.00 in prizes! Bring the family, bring your
friends. Over the years the Shop Hop has grown, and each year we see
more and more people, not only from Maine but from states throughout our
great country. It's a really fun event. We look forward to seeing you
in April!</span><span style="color: #00007f; font-family: Georgia, serif;"></span><br />

<u><span style="font-size: 16px;">A Charming Idea</span></u></span><span style="color: #00007f;"><u><span style="font-size: 16px;">
</span></u><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br />
Shop Hoppers receive a FREE 5" Charm square of the Shop Hop Theme
Fabric. Collect them all to use for the exclusive Shop Hop project, or a
design of your own. For 2013 each hopper will receive a Charm Square,
courtesy of Fabri-Quilt. <br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: 16px;">Your Exclusive Pattern</span></u><br />
A free, downloadable pattern is designed exclusively for Maine Quilt
Shop Hop each year, and available for a limited time to shop-hoppers.
In 2013 the pattern has been designed by Portland's own Auntie's Two. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><u>Fun for All Ages</u></span><br />
Children ages 7-17 can hop too, using a Children's Passport.<br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: 16px;">Not a Quilter? No Problem<br />
</span>
</u>Have someone driving you around? "Chauffeurs" can enter their own prize drawing for a Chauffer Prize!<br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: 16px;">Prizes? How about $15,000.00 worth in 2013!<br />
</span>
</u>Lots of prizes with different levels for visiting all shops or some shops! In 2012, the total prize tally exceeded $14,000.00!<br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: 16px;">Challenge Quilts & Voting<br />
</span></u>Every shop makes a quilt using common fabrics from that year's theme. <span style="color: #00007f;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">As you travel to each shop, please take a look at their Challenge Quilt and v</span></span>ote
for your favorite (the ballot is on the passport). All the challenge
quilts will be available to view at Maine Quilts 2013 at the Augusta
Civic Center.<br />

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #215868;">I just need to thank you for making the “Puts-it”
available to quilters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have rheumatoid
arthritis and always have such difficulty putting the needle in my sewing
machine or serger. A friend gave me the Puts-it the other day after she had
found it on the internet!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a God
send!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just changed my needle with no
problem in a couple of minutes!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think it would be a great idea to advertise your Puts-it in some of the Arthritis
Magazine and even let the Arthritis Foundation know about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many of us, who have such dexterity
problems, I’m sure they would be interested!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

For those interested in Heirloom machine stitching, the non-snag tapered end safely holds slippery ribbons, delicate lace, and fabric together while stitching. </span></div>

Finding it frustrating to sew many layers of fabric with even straight stitches, she decided to invent something because sticking paper, wads of material, or whatever under the back of the presser foot was not the solution to her frustration.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Sewing since the age of four, Sandy knew if she needed this great idea, then every sewer in the world needed one. The hardest part in the process was finding a mold maker that would make the injection mold and then convince them to create a mold to her specifications when they had no idea how to sew. Through a process of Show<em><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-style: normal;"> and Tell</span></em>, the mold was finally made by a lady’s high-heel shoe manufacturer. When the orders started pouring in and the <em><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Hump Jumper</span></em></span><em><span style="font-family: "symbol"; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Symbol;">â</span></span></em><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>started moving out their door, the mold-maker nicknamed Sandy “The Hump Jump Lady.” The name has stuck with her.</span></div>

Yes, her corners have been turned with a pencil. Sewers understand there are no mistakes - just bits of added lace or trim! The screwdriver was used to control lace, ruffles, and gathers under the presser foot. How many needles were broken!
