• All New England Shop Hop Bus Tour 2024
We are heading to the Southeast Region of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts!!!!   Shops are excited to entertain us for about 2 hours!  And we can't wait to meet those shop owners and check out their stash! 

BONUS #1:  No driving for you.  We will leave it to our bus driver to take us through some beautiful full fall foliage as we travel from shop to shop.  Relax in comfort and meet new quilters along the way.
BONUS #2:  Encourage your non-quilting friends to go with you.  At least 2 of the 10 shops carry yarns or are next door to a yarn shop.

There will be a commemorative gift for all participants and bus prizes as we travel across each state border.  

We will be travelling in a coach bus (not a school bus) so you will have Wi-Fi if you must work while having fun.  And a bathroom for the long legs of the trip.

Plans include leaving Newport, ME at 6 am on October 4 and returning to Newport at about 8 pm on October 6.  After a stop in Scarborough to pick up additional travellers, we will spend the first day checking out a Massachusetts shop and a few stores in Rhode Island. Saturday will find us visiting 4 shops om RI and Eastern Connecticut. Sunday has us up and on the road to our last 3 stops in CT and Massachusetts before heading back home.

Reservations will continue until we are full or August 15 whichever comes first.

Payment Options:

Payment in full when reserving or split up over 3 payments. 

Reserve by June 1 and make 3 payments equal to 33% of amount due.  33% due when making the reservation and then on July 1 and August 1. 


Trip insurance.  Traveler's Insurance is a good company to get insurance with.  Although there are several that offer up travel insurance. While we all wish we had a crystal ball to see into the future, we never know what will happen between now and then.  I would suggest obtaining trip insurance in case something does happen. 

We will send out a full itinerary once we know the bus will be going and all my ducks are in a row. 

**Fee is nonrefundable.


When choosing to pay monthly, we will split your total by 3 and reach out to you for months 2 and 3 for payment.
