We are at the Quilt show right now. It just closed up shop. Here are some pictures I took. Wished you all could have come along.

Yesterday it was about 80° and today it got to over 90°. We got up and went at 7:30 this morning and the place was packed with people already and they were still hanging the quilts. Traffic was bumper to bumper. I walked around for about 2 hours and had to go back to my RV to rest. Then went back just before closing and it was too hot for me. I got red faced and had to go back. But I got lots of pictures before I left. it was awesome. I count myself lucky it wasn't hotter. We have been here when it was much hotter and hard to tollerate. Of course the Stitching Post was packed with people for about a week now. Its a great store.

Thanks everyone. I was happy to share with people that appreciate our craft. My only problem was there were very few hand quilted quilts except for a few someone bought and brought from the Amish country. Whatever happened to the hand quilter? I am one and plan to stay one. The quilts were still beautiful, but I miss the handwork.

saf45 07-10-2010 06:01 PM

wow beautiful, thanks for the showing

GrammaNan 07-10-2010 06:06 PM

So that is what the fuss is all about. The quilts at this show are spectacular! Thanks for sharing.

Lostn51 07-10-2010 06:07 PM

Quilt after gorgeous quilt. Thanks for share. I hope to get there one day but so far it just hasn't fit into my schedule.

Marlys 07-10-2010 06:30 PM

Thank you so much for sharing your pictures. I was in Sisters last year on Monday before the quilt show and it was even amazing then. Some day . . .

mollymct 07-10-2010 06:43 PM

WOW! That is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing the photos! I'm going to have to go back to look again!

Thank you so much for sharing. I wish I lived close enough that I could plan on going, but unfortunately don't ever seeing that happen. I will have to count on generous folks like you to allow me to catch glimpses of the beauty through your pictures.

Sparky 07-10-2010 07:55 PM

Sorry I missed you in the park!!

Looks like my idea of a day in heaven! And I could swear George Clooney is in the bottom left corner of one of your pictures! (Now y'all will have to look again!) Thanks for posting!

SassySewer53 07-10-2010 08:32 PM

Well, arthritis and time constrains hand quilting. I learned to quilt as a hand quilter, but with computerized machines, there is new flair for making quilts by machine.

I like that I can get a quilt done in a fraction of the time it takes to do a handmade one.

Btw, love your pics! I am from Salem, OR, but grew up in Burns, Oregon which is about 275 miles east of Sisters. Been through Sisters many times as a kid. Brought memories! Glad to find that quilters love the little town!

AnnaK 07-10-2010 08:37 PM

These are just gorgeous. I've been wanting to go for many years. All those beautiful quilts and inspiration! Thank you for showing us.

The next time you talk to her ask her, she is the one in charge of all that but I think that we can swing by there before then!!

Who knows it might even be before the holidays ;)

Thanks for the pictures. I was planning on going and dh got sick. I hope you had enough fun to share with me! LOL

granniegg 07-11-2010 05:04 AM

So thoughtful to take these awesome photos to share with ones that could not go. I mean AWESOME photos!
The last show I went to, I could not find the 50 wt thread I use for hand sewing. I just take regular patterns and convert to doing it by hand.

mawmawbeve_60 07-11-2010 05:25 AM

very Beautiful quilts..nice pic's...

I have been there but never during the quilt show. It looks like a grand time had by all. Awesome pics and quilts. Jealous, wish I was there.
