Questions??

YES, we can't miss our TENTH year! Your local shops have been quite busy with business changes this year. They NEED your support to help keep their doors open AND you need inspiration, supplies & fabric!

Please support the participating shops, who against all obstacles  dealing with our unwelcome guest, Corona, designed and made projects for the 2020 Book and are opening their doors for you in October! 

We have streamlined everything! Your BADGE with passport & door prize tickets are included in the bag with the 2020 Quilt! Carolina project book. 

• WEAR your badge to the shop so they know you are participating
• Shops set own hours and may limit # of customers based on local regulations
• Bonus Quilt is IN THE BOOK, so individual cards do not have to be passed out at each shop
• Please Wear your Mask and help us all stay healthy

We are going VIRTUAL!  ZOOM your way to the shops from the comfort of your home! Check out each shop on the FUN BUS, shop the specials, & receive a large box of goodies in the mail after  your "trip"! Registration is OPEN AND only $24!

• The shops have books for in-shop or curbside buying.  
• You can preorder online here and have it mailed to you.  Remember to select your home shop so they get the credit. A bargain for $16 with 11 full color patterns with all templates!

• The shops are not  stamping passports this year... the new contact free environment wins again! Just check the shops you visit and return your passport when complete. We even have a mailing address listed on your passport.

• We have a great way to win prizes that actually gives you more chances! HINT: Door prize tickets!

• We all know the world is different this year... each shop made their own decision
• The reasons are as varied as the shops...Some are not back to consistent store hours,  are closing, experiencing staff shortages, local regs severely limit number of shoppers in store, some have supply issues and don't want to disappoint you. They'll be back in 2021.
• Please support the participating shops, who designed and made projects for the 2020 Book and are opening their doors for you!

YES. Check their Shop signage & Facebook pages for details.

Of course PRIZES!  

• We have a Retreat at Lake Gaston for YOU and 5 FRIENDS for 3 nights. Plus Gift Baskets, shopping sprees and MORE! 
• Deposit your Door Prize ticket (one for each shop is in your book). These tickets will be used for Shop prizes AND the major prizes from Quilt! Carolina. The more shops you visit, the more chances you have!
• It's a "contact free" way to be eligible for prizes. No more passport stamping at the shop.
• Prizes posted by Thanksgiving to allow for accumulation of tickets & winner notification and response.

The Tee shirt was such a success earlier this year. Look for another shirt for 2021, available for pre-sale beginning in April. We will even have a tote with the same logo!

• Corona is still walking around North Carolina! We wish she would disappear completely.
• The shops do ask that you wear a mask and many have some for sale if you forget
• Sanitize your hands upon entry. Some shops have gloves for you.
• All the shops have new, thorough cleaning protocols, just like you do!
• Shops may limit number of customers at a time.
• Large bottles of hand sanitizer are everywhere!

• Each shop is establishing their own hours and days for 2020. 
• We understand this makes it different for you and will post hours on this website. Plus, each shop will have a list of other shops hours.

We will make it through this year...older, wiser & with perhaps a little less fabric stash. 

We have all been reminded of the importance of friends and that Sewing Soothes the Soul!
