The Natural State Quilt Trail

The 2027 Natural State Quilt Trail Shop Hop takes place September 9 through September 25, 2027.

That gives you 17 days to explore participating quilt shops across Arkansas and plan your trail around the days and areas that work best for you.

No. Make the Quilt Trail fit your schedule.

Spend a day visiting shops near you, plan a weekend with quilting friends or see how much of the trail you can explore during the full 17 days.

Anywhere you want!

There is no required starting point. Choose the shop closest to home, meet your friends somewhere along the trail or map out a route through a part of Arkansas you have been wanting to explore.

Yes. Several areas of Arkansas have participating shops located close enough to make it easy to plan multiple stops in one trip.

Our Shop page groups participating shops by region and town so you can plan your route.

Shop hours may vary by location.

Before heading out, check each participating shop’s information for current hours, location and any Shop Hop details specific to that store.

Definitely not and that is part of the fun!

Each participating quilt shop has its own personality, fabric selection, patterns, notions, samples, projects and specialties. One of the best parts of a shop hop is discovering something you would not have found on your usual shopping route.

Yes!

The more participating shops you visit, the more prizes you are eligible to win.

Complete prize information and eligibility details will be available before the Shop Hop begins.

Not at all!

If you love fabric, sewing, quilting or simply seeing what is new inside a great quilt shop, you are welcome on the trail. It is a fun way for newer quilters to discover shops and for longtime quilters to find new fabric, projects and inspiration.
