I am SO excited to announce the kickoff of a brand-new shop hop and trust me — this one is going to be absolutely unforgettable. [Get it? Elephants never forget! 😅]
Welcome to the Elephant Parade Shop Hop!
Grab your rotary cutter, press your fabric, and get ready to join quilters from all over as we celebrate one of the most beloved creatures in the animal kingdom — the majestic elephant — one block at a time.
What Is a Shop Hop?
If you're new to shop hops, here's the fun: participating shops and designers each contribute a unique element to a larger quilt project. You collect the pieces, sew along, and end up with a fun finished quilt that tells the story of your journey. It's part treasure hunt, part sewing circle, and 100% joy.
The Block: An 18" Elephant with a Very Special Blanket from Tia Lynn Designs
At the heart of this shop hop is a charming 18-inch elephant block — sturdy, sweet, and full of personality. But what makes our elephants truly special is what they're wearing: each elephant proudly sports a 6-inch square blanket draped across its back.
Think of it as the elephant's very own quilt — a tiny canvas of color, pattern, and creativity.
The Magic: Weekly Designer Blankets!!
Here's where it gets really exciting. Each week, a featured designer will share an exclusive 6" blanket insert — a unique design that drops right into your elephant block. These inserts might feature:
⭐ Traditional patchwork patterns
🌟 Paper Piecing
🔺 Geometric designs
Every week brings a fresh surprise, a new designer voice, and a new reason to sit down at your sewing machine.
