The 2011 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show

We hit the quilt show on Saturday morning early, the weather was perfect all day, we were so happy to be there. I had a quilt on display this year with the Portland Modern Quilt Guild exhibit. It was really fun to see our quilts hanging, and so many people excited about them.
Over 1,300 quilts were on display, I have a lot of photos in my PHOTO GALLERY so feel free to go and take a look at many more of them.

Charissa and I liked the mermaid quilt.
Colleen, Me, Jenn and Barbara
While I was at the PMQG exhibit, Jean Wells stopped by to visit. She is the owner of the Stitchin' Post and quilter extraordinaire. It was fun to get to meet her. In this photo is: Jean Wells, Monica Solorio-Snow, Elizabeth Hartman and Me. (I am a huge fangirl of all of these peeps, so I was stoked!!!)
Miss Jill with her fabulous quilt that won the Project Modern Challenge!

The Mad Hatter, this group of quilters all read Alice in Wonderland and made a quilt interpretation, then they dressed up. I'd like to note that the Mad Hatter is my Accountant, isn't that hilarious??!?

We had a fabulous time, if you haven't attended this quilt show, I highly recommend it!

Project Night

By Friday night all of us had arrived in Sunriver for the weekend. We had our Gift Exchange, and Jenn made yummy chili, and we got right to work on our projects.
Petra was working on a gorgeous pattern by Chasing Cottons, her fabrics were so pretty. It made me want to make one of those quilts.
Jenn was working on her Oregon Porch Moss quilt, love it! She told me she is almost done with it now.
I worked on the Warm Cool Quilt Along, all of my half square triangles are trimmed and ready to go! I have to find time to lay it all out in a pattern, have to choose a pattern...
Charissa was cross stitching, Jen was making a Hexagon "Z" for her cute son Zeke, Colleen was making a flip flop summer wall hanging & Jill was binding a quilt.

Barbara was working on an activity book for her grand daughter. We tried to go to bed semi-early because of the quilt show the next day :)
