sharni Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I got up early and took in a good part of the Sisters Quilt Show while it was still cool and uncrowded. Wow, I love that show. Have others of you gone? How did you like it this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamu Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I use to go every year and even put several quilts in for show and for sale. My daughter lives in Bend and we would go together. We also would get up early and race throught the show before the heat got too bad and the crowds got to big. I also took lots of wonderful classes the week prior to the show and have learned alot from many International instructors for a reasonable fee. I have not been able to attend the last couple of years, but would like to go next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heirloom Quilter Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I've heard a lot about the show but never had the chance to go. I hope you had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I've gone a few times, usually sneaking into town by the back road over the mountains (242). I didn't get to go this year, although I had planned to be on retreat there from Thursday through today. Maybe next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCity Quilter Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I drove down from Alberta for it 2 years ago with my daughter and 2 friends. Best ROAD TRIP of my life!!!! Someday I would love to go again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharni Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Maybe some of us could meet together and go for the day next year. I live in Redmond just about 20 miles away and I do have a spare room. I made a smilebox about the show and am trying to figure out how to post it.

qltgurl Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 My sister and I drove over from Idaho to go this year. We left at 4 am and after some shop hopping in Bend made it over to the show around noon. The weather was perfect this year. And the crowds were wonderful at that time too Not bumping elbows in the stores. Loved seeing the quilts. Now to sit down and look through the 150 pics I took and get to enjoy them agian.

PattyJo Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I drove over and met up with some friends that went on a bus. The day was perfect but I didn't get to see all of the quilts. I haven't downloaded my camera yet, but there sure a lot of beautiful quilts this year. I left the show about 1 pm and drove to Redmond to see my son and family. Got home at 9 pm. A great day. Next year I'm going to spend the night on Redmond then not have to get up at O dark 30 on the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
