I don't know about you, but I am gobsmacked that it is already June!!! Our spring in the High Desert has been like a roller coaster ride, but I am enjoying the blooms that are braving their way into the garden. Once June arrives, all thoughts are turned to The Quilter's Affair, which is a week-long opportunity to take a class with some of your favorite designers in one of the most beautiful places in Oregon. The week culminates in the largest one day outdoor...yes, I did say outdoor...quilt show in the world with over 1200 quilts hung around the town of Sisters, Oregon. This show is definitely a bucket list adventure. Each day is filled with not only classes, but activities in the evenings. One of the most exciting events is "The Men Behind The Quilts Calendar" auction, which is a fund raiser for the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, a Non-Profit organization. Each of the chosen quilts are photographed with a local man...except Mr. December! Come Wednesday evening, the Calendar party begins with the models signing calendars and the quilts featured each month are auctioned off in a live auction!!!

OMG...I am getting excited already!! And so, because I want you to be excited, the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show has donated a calendar as a Give Away!!! All you need to do to participate is enter your information in the box at the end of the blog. A winner will be selected at random. (The Contest is now Closed.)

Here is a sneak peak of the calendar! The photographs are by Valori Wells, except for Mr. December who was photographed by Laura Dalton of Hamilton Missouri, home to the Missouri Star Company.
 
The cover model is Adam, a local Fly Fishing Guide.

Mr. February is the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show 2018 poster artist, Paul! The wood pile in the photograph is a work of art!


The year is wrapped up by Mr. December, Rob Appell, who has been a been part of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and the Quilters Affair family for many years!
