North Georgia Fall Season is Fun For Fabric Junkies!

North Georgia Fall Season is Fun For Fabric Junkies!

As the heat of summer wanes, and the colors of fall settle on the landscapes and mountain tops of North Georgia, there’s a whole world of fresh, new colorful fabrics to contend with, especially for those holiday gift giving projects.  For ideas and fun times with friends and family, start with our 2nd Annual Leaf Lookers Shop Hop!

North Georgia Fabric Stores Fall Event

 

Friday and Saturday, October 7th and 8th.
Three shops, including FG&QS are SPONSORS of this autumn mini-shop hop event.

It’s a great time to get outdoors to enjoy the changing colors.

Visit all 3 quilt shops on your trip.

While the guys are watching football or working out in the shop or fishing, grab your girlfriends, sisters, moms, daughters and enjoy the fun, the free goodie bags and the chance to win our grand prize.

Your chance to win the Grand Prize are fairly high, just based on the actual participant volume, which is smaller than the spring Shop Hop where about a dozen or so shops are involved, and attracts  more exposure and attendance.  

Mark your calendar for: 

Friday and Saturday, October 7th and 8th.
