Jane Haworth was the guest speaker at the High Desert Quilt Guild. What charming quilts she makes!
I was able to get away on a nice Saturday and spend some time with my kids! We did an urban hike and this was the view!
I'm trying to get into backpacking fitness so I had a 15 pound pack on. Trying to keep up with the whippersnappers wasn't too difficult. LOL

I love Portland in the spring with so many lovely blooms.
Typical spring in Central Oregon. 60 degrees one day, snow the next! I get out to hike when I can.
I had a lovely guild trip to the Village Quilters in San Diego.
It was a smaller group, but so friendly and fun!
Show and tell is always fun but these ladies hardly gave me time to take a photo!
They had a round robin reveal which was fun to see! They were all spectacular!
Lunch after guild is a time I really enjoy getting to know the ladies a bit better. 2nd on the right was my host Deborha. My flight didn't leave until 6PM so she graciously took me to a couple of quilt shops.
Grand Central Quilt & Stitch was adorable with lovely antiques and all the type of fabric I love.

And Look! Eleanor Burns Quilt in a day! I had no idea it was located here!

It was a ware house full of SO much fabric!

I think they do a lot of online orders.

After Eleanor retired her son took it over. I love that!

My son happened to send me a text and ask what "dad and I are doing today" I responded- quilts, palm trees and sunshine in San Diego! Here is the photo I sent him.
I'd love to visit your guild! I'd appreciate you passing my name to your programs person! I'll be in Walla Walla mid May for a quilt guild! If you are close by please come!
I'll be at the Meet the Teacher event tomorrow in Pleasant Hills, CA. If you represent your guild there please stop by and say hi.
Spring in Central Oregon brings chicks to the farm store! They are so cute!!
I've added quite a bit of fabric to my Etsy store- check it out HERE if you'd like.
There is a little over 3 weeks to get your swap quilt completed. I hope you are on track! I'm hand quilting the last border, then will label it and bind. YAY!
I hope you are having a great week!
Wow, what an interesting post. So much eye candy. My quilting has slowed down now that Spring weather has made more time outdoors in the garden a major necessity. Seems like April and the 1st half of May are always so busy.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing that quilt work with the spool and needle and thread, how sweet is that. Thank you for a great tour.
What a great post! I just had to take a look at your Etsy shop and found so many wonderful items!
ReplyDeleteLove that dog quilt! I wouldn't know where to begin with something like that. Looks like you are having a great trip. You always seem to be on the go and having lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteReady for you to come to our guild, we can do dinner if you get here early enough to check in to the hotel.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and lovely quilts.
ReplyDeleteJane's quilts look pretty incredible.
ReplyDeleteI love Portland in the spring, too. Will be passing through there the end of this month on the way home from visiting our daughter. We will be going through Sisters later this week to go see her, and I was planning to get in touch and see if there was a chance of meeting up, but we have no idea when we will get there. So lame. We are taking a different route than our usual, but still ending up through Sisters. We go to Oregon once or twice a year, and I keep thinking one of these times we will connect.
Looks like a nice guild, and the shops look like a lot of fun!
