Central Oregon Pod Meeting Highlights

The results are amazing when SAQA members respond to the word "Doors."

Central Oregon SAQA members explored doors as portals, thresholds, entrances, passageways, and as frames to new experiences and memories in 18" by 40".  Individually the quilts are wonderfully unique, together they make a strong show that will premier at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show July 9 in the gardens of the Open Door restaurant on Hood Ave. in Sisters.

The quilts were revealed at the group's June meeting.  It was fun to hear the quilt "creation" stories.  The plan was to see the quilts where they will hang during the quilt show.  The weather did not cooperate so we were cozy inside during social hour and show and tell.  Look for an article about the exhibit in the Sisters supplement to the Bend Bulletin.

Volunteers are needed to staff the exhibit during the quilt show.  Please contact Jan at jmtathome@hotmail.com if you are able to commit to a couple of hours hostessing in the garden where the quilts will hang.

No meeting in July.  Next Central Oregon SAQA meeting will be Thursday, August 18 from 3-4:30pm at the Stitchin' Port.  We will have a panel discussion about writing a book and getting it published.
