It is Easy to Participate
Independent quilt shops or
fashion-fabric stores, web-only sewing-related businesses,
or design studios offering original copyrighted work or
products are welcome to join our FabShop Hop™. Simply hide
the bunny on any page you want consumers to visit and your
site will soon be hopping!
Throughout each month-long
Hop, visitors will explore your site as they search for the
hidden bunny and work to qualify for randomly drawn prizes.
Thousands will bookmark your site, sign up for your
e-newsletter, and return to shop when the Hop is over.
