Welcome to Cynthia’s Ark. This is our fourth Sewing Explorer Trail Shop Hop. We hope you will join in on the fun and explore the six shops on this year trail. The Sewing Explorer Trail will run between the 1st-30th April, so you have the full month to explore the shops. Please check each shops opening hours.

The shops participating are listed above. What you have to do is visit each shop and spend $20 in store to receive that shop’s block pattern free and get your shop hop passport stamped. Once you have a full passport and collected all the block patterns, you hand your passport in to the last shop you visit. That will get you into the major prize draw and you will receive this year quilt layout instructions.

Prizes will be announced closer to April.

Shop Hour will be announced closer to April.

We look forward to see everyone during the Sewing Explorer Trail Shop Hop 2026.

Cynthia and the team.
