9

When you live in a place that has 9 quilt shops within 45 minutes of each other, you know there must be a LOT of quilters. Which means we also have a variety of quilt shows from the largest outdoor quilt show in Sisters to a variety of local guild shows. But, one of the gems of Central Oregon is the Gallery at QuiltWorks in Bend because each month there is a featured quilter and a group exhibit.


QuiltWorks has a wide variety of fabrics and tools of the trade! It is easily located off Greenwood/Hwy 20 if you are in the area, and I can guarantee a Quilt Show is going on upstairs! And, each quilt show is filled with a wide variety of local talent...doesn't everyone deserve their 15 minutes of fame!

Hope you can visit and be inspired by the local quilters...and maybe nag your local quilt shop to consider showcasing your quilts :)

I agree with you. This is one of my all time favorite quilt shops. They have a wide variety of fabrics, a lot of quilts and other fabric items hanging up or displayed as examples or for classes. Their First Friday gala each month (which is part of Bend's First Friday Art Walk) features quilts from
a group of quilters and an individual quilter's work upstairs in their gallery, which then hangs for the rest of the month. The owner Marilyn and her staff are wonderful and welcoming. Don't miss this shop if you are in Bend!!

Anna, thank you so much for this one. I have visited this one several times when I had the pleasure of traveling on business with my husband. And, for me it is one of the best shops I have ever visited all due to the folks that greeted you as you came in and all the gorgeous quilts and patterns they had displayed. I still get their email just to see what they are up to these days. They never fail to satisfy my quilt hunger! So glad you too had the pleasure.
