ot being the most organized person and knowing the wheels on the camper keep turning...taking me away from home... I was a little behind in prepping for class. Which meant I had to make a run into the Stitchin' Post in Sisters, Oregon for some last minute class supplies. The class I am taking is Easy as ABC with Sarah Fielke (Show 2004: Into the Woods We Go - Embroidery with Whimsy in Stitches) from Sydney, Australia. I love fabric with script print or quilts that have a message, so I know this class is going to open a wonderful world for me!
While I was shopping I ran into June Jaeger, who is a member of the Sisters Quilting Family. June is Jean Wells Keenan's (Show 1301: New Directions in Quilting: Embracing the Possibilities) sister and Valori Wells Kennedy's aunt...talk about quilting magic! June's quilts are inspired by nature and feature landscapes and animals. I was lucky enough to have taken her Best Friends class at a previous Quilter's Affair and now have a wonderful quilt featuring my best friend Enzo :).
I am always inspired by designers who take us out of our comfort zones where we can test our quilting mettle! As a quilting community it was such a wonderful gift when June moved to Sisters last year and became a local quilter, both she and her sidekick Willow!! As you can see she really has a knack for bringing home the scenery.
To enjoy a more in depth view of June's life and home you can see the Quilt Roadies video from 2016.
Have a wonderful week and check in on my Facebook and Instagram for the excitement this week during the Quilter's Affair and the Sister's Outdoor Quilt Show!!!
