An event has quietly happened in Sisters, Oregon, which will ripple through the rest of the quilting world. In 1975, Jean Wells opened The Stitchin' Post and forever changed our community. Over time, Sisters not only became known as an outdoor mecca but as the heartbeat of quilting in Central Oregon. Due to Jean's tireless work and dedication, we now have thousands of people flocking to Sisters the second Saturday of July each year for the largest one day Outdoor Quilt Show and to visit The Stitchin Post.



But, now she is ready for a life change. Looking for more time to relax in her studio and create, she is handing the day to day operations to her daughter Valori Wells Kennedy. It is a transition that has been going on for a while but is now official. Valori, who this Spring will be releasing her 40th...yes, 40th, fabric line called Marmalade Dream, is now going to be leading the team at The Stitchin Post. With this change of leadership, The Stitchin' Post has had a facelift reflecting the creative vision of Valori. The new look is current, beautiful and bright.



I hope you enjoy this slide show of the Gallery Exhibit in The Stitchin' Post and make plans to visit the refashioned shop!

Yet another chapter in the world of the Stitchin' Post opens. Jean passing the mantle onto Valori. Congratulations to you all, I look forward to the surprises when next I visit.
