I am sorry you got sick. It was a beautiful day. Hot but beautiful.
We got there at 7:30 in the morning and had breakfast. They were putting up the quilts as we were eating. The quilts were more spread out this year.
There was some beautiful "art" quilts. I call them art quilts because they look like something compaired to a pieced quilt. My husband was in awe of them and kept asking me "how did they do that?"
The theme for the judged quilts was "Stars over Sisters" The winning quilt was a beautiful art quilt of the Three Sisters at night with stars twinkling over head. It was definitely art museum quality.
I started to fade after about 4 hours in the sun. When we left around 11:30 it was 92 degrees.
We had gotten there early enough to find a good parking place, but when we left the town didn't have a parking place left. There must have been 10,000 people in the little town of Sisters. The traffic was backed up to the Cloverdale road turnoff, and that is about 4 miles. We live in Bend so it is easy to get there early and leave when it gets too hot. But in the backed up traffic I saw numerous buses loaded with ladies trying to get to the show.
The show has gotten too popular for the roads around Sisters. But that will not stop me from going next year.
