Hello friends!! This week is the start of the classes leading up to the wonderful Outdoor quilt show in Sisters, Oregon. I am normally up in Sunriver sewing with friends but family first this year so I will be going on Friday. Unfortunately one of our employees is going on vacation next week so my Sunriver sewathon will be cut short. I thought I'd take advantage of my open week and go to Sisters.
Of course I had to stop by the
Stitchin' Post as they always do such a nice job at getting the store ready for a busy week. They also have a store at the high school were classes are and boy does that make it convenient- I shopped twice!! hahahaha
My main reason for going to Sisters was to meet Pam from
Library Gal Quilts. She was taking a class with Kathy D of
Material Obsession fame. Watch her blog for her wonderful red quilt.
I felt so comfortable with Pam right away! She was so friendly and warm and genuine. I hope this will not be the last time we meet.
Look at this super cute mug rug she gave to me. Isn't it fantastic?!
I also got to meet Carmen and her daughter, Amanda, (I sure hope that is their names) from Honey Run Quilt shop in Chico, CA. Carmen just got out of a class with Janet Bolton and her little art quilt was amazing!! I look forward to seeing it on her
blog.
After I left Sisters I made my way to Bend to meet my friend Randy at
Sew Many Quilts. They were having an open house before the craziness of the week set it.
Tomorrow I am meeting my blog friend
Juliann who is coming for classes. Since I am not sewing with friends this week I do feel like I am missing out on the festivities. Maybe next year I'll take a class or two.
