I don't remember where I heard of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show; perhaps it was Opal talking about Freddy Moran. When I decided to go, I mentioned it to Wilma and she agreed to go with me. We stayed in a place in Bend and drove into Sisters every morning during the week. My sister-in-law Beth gave us the points to stay in a really nice lodge.
I enjoyed a class with Kathy Doughty from Sidney. Although I tried to create a unified piece, it was too difficult for me. I ended up using these pieces in separate mini-quilts.
I also enjoyed a class by Laura Wasilowski of Chicago School of Fusing. We began with black fabric and fused on top of it. Later, I used perle cotton to quilt it up.
On Saturday, the biggest outdoor quilt show in the world was on display.
Both of my quilts sold, which made me giddy. Someone caught up with me when I was a few blocks away to let me know the tags had been pulled. We raced back to take pictures.
I've decided I have to make this quilt for next year's show. It is Jennifer Sampou's Octagon Shimmer.
Here are my favorites:
