About the fabrics.
All Iowa Shop Hop Exclusive Fabrics are available at most participating Shop Hop stores beginning June 1, 2025. This year’s fabrics were designed by Windham Fabrics and feature a map of Iowa with a quilt block for each of the 99 counties. These block designs were originally created in 2009 and incorporated as tiles on the exterior of the Richard O. Jacobson Exhibition Center on the fairgrounds.
Each year, a featured fabric is chosen by the Iowa State Fair to create their annual 99-county quilt block display at the Varied Industries Building. We are proud that the 2025 Shop Hop Exclusive Fabrics have been chosen for this year’s showcase.
Contact All Iowa Shop Hop if you have other questions.
The All Iowa Shop Hop is proud to sponsor this showcase and special prize!
