Qualifying for Prizes

Visit any participating store to get your copy of the All Illinois Shop Hop Magazine. It features everything you need for your Great Sewing Adventures™ — an official passport and map, information on participating stores, special shop hop hours, free patterns highlighting our exclusive fabrics, inspiring articles and more!

• Present your passport in person to be stamped at each participating store you visit.
• One stamp per customer per store.
• No purchase is necessary to play!
• Participants must be age 18 or older.
• A special youth passport is available for young sewers ages 8 to 17! Pick one up at participating Shop Hop stores.

Prize Levels

There are multiple levels of prizes for you to win. All winners are selected by random drawing. Prizes will be drawn for in the following order. Once an entry wins, it will not be eligible for additional prizes within that category. Individuals may have entries in multiple categories which may allow them to win more than one prize.

EVENT GRAND PRIZES: Collect the stamps from ALL stores on the All Illinois Shop Hop to be entered in the drawing to win a special event-wide grand prize.

HALFWAY PRIZES: Collect passport stamps from at least HALF of all participating stores anywhere in Illinois to be entered in this prize drawing.

REGIONAL PRIZES: Collect passport stamps from ALL stores in a Region to receive one entry into the prize drawing for THAT region. Regional Grand Prizes will be drawn first. Entries then become eligible for the many other prizes offered for each region. Complete one or all regions for more chances to win!

GENERAL LEVEL PRIZES: Collect passport stamps from 5 or more participating stores anywhere in Illinois to be entered in this prize drawing. Shoppers who collect stamps from all the stores in a region will also be entered into this drawing. Be sure to submit your passport for entry!

Thank-You Gifts for Shoppers

COLLECTIBLE NOTE CARDS: Each year, our participating stores give Shop Hop customers a small gift when they present their passports. This year we’ve designed 4” x 5” note card and envelope sets as this free thank-you gift. The cards feature a fun, sewing-themed message on the front, the store’s name and info on the back, and a blank inside. Since each Shop Hop store has a unique note card, you can collect the entire set by visiting every store! These note card and envelope sets will only be available to those embarking on the All Illinois Shop Hop, so be sure to get your passport to start collecting stamps and note cards.

QUILT LABELS FOR REGIONAL FINISHERS: As a thank-you for visiting all stores in a region of the Shop Hop, participants will receive a quilt label. Earn one label for each completed region. Using embroidery or a permanent fabric marker, fill in the year, who made the quilt, and if appropriate, who the quilt was made for. Then attach the fabric label to the back of your quilt. Be sure to mail in your Passport by the date indicated to qualify for regional thank-you gifts.

ALL-EVENT NOTE CARD BOX: Collect passport stamps from ALL participating Illinois stores and receive a note card storage box to hold all the cards and envelopes you collected on your Great Sewing Adventures. Be sure to mail in your passport by the date indicated. Qualifying participants will receive their note card box by mail. No purchase necessary. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks following the end of the Shop Hop for delivery.

Submitting Completed Passports

To qualify for prize drawings, place your passport in an envelope and mail directly to All Illinois Shop Hop postmarked no later than October 3, 2026. (We cannot verify passport arrival. The most economical way to track your passport is to mail it certified through USPS without a return receipt.)
