NoCo Shop Hop: Your Ultimate Quilting Adventure

If there’s one event that brings the quilting community together in the most exciting way, it’s the NoCo Shop Hop. More than just a week of shopping, it’s a celebration of creativity, connection, and the joy of discovering new inspiration across Northern Colorado.

What is the NoCo Shop Hop?

The NoCo Shop Hop is a multi-day event where quilters travel from shop to shop, exploring some of the best local quilt stores in the region. Each stop offers something unique—whether it’s exclusive patterns, special fabric bundles, demonstrations, or giveaways.

Think of it as a quilting road trip, where every destination sparks a new idea.

Why Quilters Love It

There’s something truly special about the Shop Hop experience. It’s not just about what you buy—it’s about the journey.

You might start your day with a plan, but along the way, you’ll discover fabrics you didn’t know you needed, meet fellow quilters who share your passion, and leave each shop feeling inspired to create something new.

Many participants travel with friends, making it a full-day (or even multi-day) adventure filled with laughter, creativity, and plenty of fabric along the way.

Exclusive Projects & Collectibles

One of the highlights of the NoCo Shop Hop is collecting exclusive items from each participating store. From custom quilt blocks to limited-edition kits, these pieces often come together to create a larger project—one that represents your entire journey through the hop.

It’s not just a quilt—it’s a memory of every stop, every conversation, and every creative spark.

A Celebration of Local Quilt Shops

Events like the NoCo Shop Hop are a reminder of how special local quilt shops truly are. Each store has its own personality, style, and expertise—and the Shop Hop gives you a chance to experience them all.
