The Northwest Quilting Expo is one of the most looked forward to quilt events. It showcases the quilting talent of both men and women in the Pacific Northwest. And, the vendor mall is top notch! There are classes offered and many of the local guild offer a chance to win a beautifully created quilt. I was inspired to think about my next project and have a great desire to get home and plan my next quilt! Quilters travel far and wide for this show and I loved running into the "Tie Sisters" who attend each quilt show dressed in their hand crafted outfits. One of the sisters stitched the outfits, stitching them with embellishments which reflect what the sister loved. I love quilters! They are creative is so many ways and generous of knowledge and creation.

One of the highlights of the show was running into Pam Raby who is a much sought after Oregon teacher. She is patient, talented, and her Sequoia class is a popular one! One of Pam's classes used Julie Herman's (www.jaybirdquilts.com) Galaxy pattern and those quilts, in their amazing variety, were displayed at the Northwest Quilting Expo! I hope you enjoy the slide show of how one class, through the guidance of Pam Raby, created the most amazing quilts! See you next week and I hope you are keeping up with G and I on the Quilt Roadies and Woolie Mammoth Blog.
