Quilt Run Swag

For the past five years, the shops we visited on the quilt run gave us goodies - colored ribbons, hard candy, simple quilt patterns we could print off their website. 

This year, the shop owners upped their game. Way up. A beautiful new website; cute patches and other sewing-related goodies; a water bottle in Orcutt (always handy); and my favorite - premium passports, offered for a small fee (the free version was still available), that included a sturdy tote bag with custom artwork and a “gift” pin at every shop. Sweet!

They also changed the prize for turning in a completed passport - a nice pair of embroidery scissors!

The changes made this year’s run feel like a brand new event. Kudos to everyone involved and I can’t wait to see what you come up with for next year!
