Hoppin Bobbin E News


What's New At
Hoppin Bobbin....


I have to say, it is hard to believe that Hoppin Bobbin has officially been here for 5 years as of this week.  With much anticipation of what the next few years will bring, I signed a new lease at the beginning of the month.  I'm excited and looking forward to it.  I want to say thanks to my "super" staff, who I always tease that it's hard to find good help, but know that I couldn't get through the day without them.  They are always brimming with new ideas and have such enthusiasm for the shop and our customers.  I am so grateful to them for their support, hard work and friendships that have evolved with them through the years.  
I also would like to say thank you to each and everyone of the quilters that have supported Hoppin Bobbin the last 5 years.  I hope that we continue to earn your patronage and that we can be here many more years to serve you.  I am grateful for the friendships that have grown, watching beginners grow into wonderful quilters and your overwhelming support of Hoppin Bobbin and myself.  I would not be able to do what I love, without every one of you.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 
Here's to many more years!
Kelly and Tootsie too!
