Sisters is in Central Oregon. This quilt show is the largest outdoor quilt show in the world. This year I believe there were upwards of 1400 quilts displayed.

Kristen0112; I agree, my cousin and I attended and felt there were not as many quilts on display as last year. But, there were quilts located in other areas too. Black Butte Resort, Old Mill Shopping District and Five Pine Lodge to name a few so perhaps that's why we felt there were less.
I also felt there were far fewer traditional quilts and more abstract and artsy quilts than before. JMHO

grammysharon; Yes, the quilts had to be taken down around the 3:00 hour due to a massively intense thunder/lighting/rain monsoon storm! It was unfortunately directly over the quilt show and yes, we did get totally soaked to the skin!! All the quilt show workers were so quick to get the quilts down ASAP! Very impressive how well coordinated the show is!!

Thank you so much for sharing your pics Devokitty. What spectacular quilts. I love them all, traditional, art, landscape. The mermaid one was amazing and looked to have very dense and intense quilting, wish I could have seen it in person. I also loved the cat one. (of course! LOL )
