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.
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.
What a darling pic of you guys! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds like lots of fun to me!! If I was going I'd want to go to Bill Volckening's talk on Old Quilts. 4 friends of mine are driving down for the weekend - how I wish I could have gone with them...

I love the fun mug rug! It sounds like you're having a great time even if you didn't make it to the sewing retreat. I think one of the great things about blogging is meeting with other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI stopped at the Stitchin Post on Tuesday on our way to Prineville (we needed to stretch our legs)! Just spent a little while looking around and did make a purchase as well. I'll be looking for you on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lot of adventures you are having. Sounds like sooo much fun.
ReplyDeleteMug rug is very cute!
Sorry you can't go. I was thinking I hope it's nothing serious with your Mom. Prayin' for ya! Hope you get to go have some fun. Jo Anna
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteEven tho you couldn't go to the whole thing this year (and next year will be even better) it sure sounds like you're making some great fun out of what you can do. How special to meet up with some blogging friends. That's such a special treat. That makes me extra happy for you. ~ What a cute mug rug and the thoughtfulness behind it makes it all the more special. A treasure.
How fun for you guys. I would love to go to Sisters someday. Very cute mug rug.
