More Sisters Quilts and Portland

Here are a few more quilt pictures from Sisters OR. They were all just beautiful.

A friend in South Carolina had a friend in Portland OR who agreed to play tour guide for us. Susan was just wonderful. She took us along the river gorge and we hiked/viewed all the fabulous waterfalls. Absolutely beautiful.

We visited the sturgeon/rainbow trout farm. Herman the sturgeon is "huge". I was wishing for a fishing pole and some salmon eggs... :-)))

Went to Mt St Helens. That's a spectacular sight.

Susan took us to all the great places to eat. A few of us ate clam chowder every place we could get it. The last restaurant we went to had seafood chowder...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

We had lots of laughs....

Susan gets A++++ for her tour guide efforts. She succeeded.

We took a tour of her studio which is the entire basement floor of her house. Complete with a kitchen and full bathroom.

Next post I'll tell you about a place called "Fabric Depot" (its about 5 times the size of Mary Jo's in NC) and the chinese gardens.

More Sisters Quilt Pictures

I am showing some more quilt pictures from the Sisters town show. I have so many but I included a few applique ones for those who like applique. You know who you are.

From the sewing room I have quilted another 2 love (charity) quilts, completed a love flimsy and almost have a small childs top finished.

My orphan bin is busting so I am concentrating on reducing it. I really like piecing but wonder how all those blocks got in there :-)

Come back for the Portand adventures which will include waterfall pictures. They are spectacular.

Vacation Recovery

What a trip! Aside from starting with a sinus infection and having multiple allergy attacks the trip was wonderful. I think I am back on eastern time.

Seattle was grey and misting with the last day being sunny.

Sisters OR was an experience for all quilters and non-quilters. Seeing so many quilts makes your head spin. I took lots of pictures and here are a few. I like the scrappy ones and odd styles. My two good friends Margaret, Kay and I kept us all laughing. There was never a dull moment. They even had vendors and a wonderful quilt shop.

I even arranged to visit Bonnie who used to live here and was in our quilt guild. It was good to see her in person.

More pictures and adventures to come.
