Fall Quilt Market 2012: FabShop

{ FabShop’s booth displayed their trade publications as usual, but also had a chalkboard wall for LQS owners to tag! }

Do you love your Local Quilt Shop? FabShop (the trade organization for independent quilt and fabric retailers) wants you to show your appreciation through their I Love my Local Quilt Shop fan photo contest.  Take a picture of yourself inside your favorite local shop.  Then, pick your social media platform of choice (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram). Post your picture with the hashtag #ILoveMyLQS, and you could win a $500 gift certificate to your favorite shop! Not only do you win, but your local quilt shop will also receive $500 to their favorite supplier. Whoa!

So, between November 24th and January 24th, post away. January 24th is the official Local Quilt Shop Day, so mark your calendar … Lots of people were participating in the project at Market, here’s Jeni Baker posing for her I Love my Local Quilt Shop photo! You can grab your own graphic or printable declaration of love here.
