I have been spending a lot of time napping and recovering from an over the top week. You can check out the Quilt Roadies YouTube Channel for a front row seat of all the action. Give us a Thumbs Up and Subscribe...it doesn't cost a thing but just lets you know when our next video is posted.
 
The Sister's Outdoor Quilt Show is truly an amazing event and it is where friends meet from near and far. It was so fun to have Stacy West, the designer behind Buttermilk Basin visit. This was her first visit to Central Oregon and I wanted her to experience as much as she could in the few days she was here. Designers have a quilt family of sorts which meet at Quilt Market and the connections are strengthened by our ability to enjoy each other's lives on Facebook and Instagram...but, there is nothing like seeing the environment a quilter lives in and I knew Anne Bryson's home was a must see for Stacy. As a designer you don't always get to see how your designs are embraced in a quilter's home. Anne who is the author of Cottons 'n Wool blog has known Stacy for a while but this was the first time Stacy was able to see her home that embraces all things quilt and in such a beautiful way! Every time I visit I come away with ideas for displaying all those creations that I spend time stitching. I know you will love all her projects and the vignettes that she creates.

That was an amazing and beautiful display of quilts and woolies, as well as an amazing sewing studio. Wow! I kind of wish you could load all of the wonderful photos you share on Flickr so we can view them in a larger format. I love to zoom in and see the details in them.

Hey Raquel! The quilt you asked about is called Sarah's Stars. Its in a 1994 Red Wagon book by Gerry Kimmel titled A Nice Mix. There's an applique woodland Santa scene on the cover. I found my copy, with some patience, on the secondary market.

Anne is such a lovely creative lady. I was pleased to chat with her again this year when she checked me out at Sew Many Wuilts.

Here blog and home are so inspirational.

Ann's Cottons 'n Wool blog is one of my favorites. So rich in warm, homey projects and you get the sense that she's just a sweetheart. I fell head over heels for the tiny bit of the star quilt that was showing when she photographed the current display on her entry table a few years ago. I dug through her posts to find a picture of he whole quilt and inquired about the pattern. She was so kind to share the name of the book with me, which I tracked down immediately. Thanks for the tour!
