I am back from a wonderful week at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. It started on Sunday the 3rd with a Fiber Arts Walk through the town shops where I was able to view lots of unique techniques where artists were, dyeing, stitching and selling their wares. I attended "Quilters Affaire" which is the week before the show where classes are taken. I took a class from
Leonore Crawford and her painted flowers, see post below, on the 4th of July -- they don't stop for a holiday when it falls during quilt week. Also took a class with
Frieda Anderson with her dyed fabric in fusing and learned some new tips for working with fusing.

Saturday was Quilt Show day and volunteers start really early hanging 1400 quilts all over town, from porches, windows, walls and parks. I really enjoyed the special exhibit from some girls in Portland. Their group "Cover to Cover" all read the same book and then each makes a quilt for the book - this exhibit was "Alice in Wonderland". It was really unique and they dressed up in Alice style and greeted viewers. All in all a wonderful 2 weeks in the area - Sisters, Bend and Sunriver.
