Hello all -
Wondering if there are quilters out there looking for a group to rent a place either at Black Butte or somewhere to attend the show in Sisters this year?

Or is there a group already. I live in Oregon - so would love to hook up with other Oregon quilters. Is this possible? Or is it a crazy idea? I don't have a place but if got a group I'm sure we could make it happen.

Just thought I would throw this idea out there.

I went last year on the Fabric Depot bus - but would love to have more time and also would love to go to the evening benefit with the Gee Bend Quilters and hear them sing.

Okay - I am going to get on it tomorrow. We were test driving cars today suddenly. Phew. Exhausting.

I would be interested in joining in. I usually have a friend that goes but I don't think it will happen this year. I have also rented at Eagle Crest before. The houses are beautiful and clean and its not far from Sisters.

July 7th is the evening performance and show by the Gee's Bend Quilters. These are the women from Alabama who sing and quilt and make the fabulous freeform quilts from solid fabrics. It is the evening of the 7th on Thursday and then on Friday, the 8th is the picnic and performances in the evening. I think it would be fun to be there from the 7th through the Saturday outside show on the 9th. I am not signed up for any classes as of yet.
