The studio is roasting......I have a bunch of fans up there since the girls are coming over tonight for a sew night. Now, I just have to figure out what I am going to work on. I really try to work on fun things when they are over - no work - sew and just have a little girl time. There have been a lot of "softies" books coming into the shop and I have been fascinated by them. I think I might just make one tonight.....an Owl. I just think it would be fun to make some funky softies - maybe the guardians of the studio.....
Ok, totally distracted by that.....what about some more photos of the show. This last series is from walking around town and the teacher tent.
This years Quilt Show Challenge was the Power of Red.....we had some great quilts.
Phyllis Johnson was our Featured Quilter this year. She is local and
makes her quilts for her family - mostly the grand kids. They are very
beautiful quilts.
Here are some of the quilts in the Teacher tent.....unfortunately I do not know everyone's quilt or did I get a photo of all of them.....sorry.
The final quilt......it was a great year with over 1300 beautiful quilts. I am off to tidy up the studio and plan something to sew on.....
Have a great day!

Beautiful.
I completely love red. So much so that at my wedding a couple of weeks ago, the dress code on the invitations was "a touch of red".
Such a warm and comforting colour.

The quilts are absolutely wonderful. Valori, thanks for taking so many pictures for us! I love Charley Harper's work also and it was so much fun to see a quilt of it. There is such a wide variety of wonderful quilts at your show!

Such fun to walk the streets of Sisters and see these quilts, it is like being there. I appreciate you taking the time to take the photos and to post them. One day I am coming back to Sisters.... it was just beautiful when I was there last.

What lovely photos: thank you for them! I couldn't make it to the show this year, and I especially loved the pics of the employee challenge and the Gee's Bend quilts.

Wow, thanks for sharing so many pictures, there were some amazing quilts this year! Hopefully some day I will get to come see the show in person instead of living vicariously through your blog, sigh :)
