I admit that I have been a little distracted by my travels. Wonderful scenery, exceptional adventures plus quilt shops galore, have kept me in the moment. But, now it is time to buckle down and start thinking of the future and get ready for the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show! I know it is still about 6 weeks away, but when you think about that in terms of how long a quilt takes to make...well, that means I have got to get down to business. Besides, the quilts that you enter into the show need to be at the show office between June 23-30 so that is less than 6 weeks.
My agenda includes tacking down two more bindings and making and attaching four labels...then, I can relax. Wait, I am teaching a wool class and two Sit 'n Stitch classes during the Quilter's Affair, which means I need to organize my class material. Ahhh, the quilting life is so relaxing, LOL.
This year's Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show poster is a winner...it truly captures the emotion of quilting.
The artwork is by Dan Rickards, an internationally acclaimed artist, Sisters resident, and owner of the Clearwater Gallery. I know you'll want to have this poster hanging in your home. And on Quilt Show day, Dan will be signing posters! Truly a bit of Sisters art to take home.
Plus local quilt artist Susan Cobb took a beautiful fabric print of the poster and designed and pieced stars around it to create a beautiful quilt for this years raffle quilt, "A Story of Stars." On the back of the quilt is a legend that explains each star block pieced in the quilt. Local long arm quilter Laura Simmons used her longarm talent to put the finishing touches on this wonderful quilt.
This is definitely a raffle you won't want to miss out on!
Have a wonderful week of stitching and start planning a quilt trip to our neck of the woods!
