Sisters Quilt Show 2018 -Part 2 (Sisters!)

We did stop in Sisters, on Friday, on the way back to Bend from the Black Butte Ranch.  We visited The Stitchin' Post and the frozen yogurt place.  I found some amazing zebra fabric. When I was getting my fabric cut, the lady cutting on the other side of the counter wanted to know how much was left over, because she had been eye-balling the zebra fabric for a week.  The gal cutting my fabric spoke up and said, "Zero!!! She is finishing the bolt!!."  So, I raised my arms with a resounding "Yes!"  And I got the end-of-bolt discount!

I got zebras!

I got crabs!

The plan was to visit the quilt shop in Sisters, on Friday, so we could avoid it during the crush on Saturday.  That plan actually worked well.  We avoided the crush!  On Saturday, we did our sneak-through-round-about to get into town.  We parked and spotted a deer across the street.  She walked over the chain link fence into the yard of the house, where her little fawn was grazing on the grass.

use of the traditional blocks with military fabrics, ric-rac, and embroidery

 There were a number of quilts on display, that had words, sayings, or letters of the alphabet in them.  I particularly like those types of quilts.

I am sorry, I did not get the name of the creator of this one.
I like the texture made by the quilting and the message.

Hand quilted!

 There were so many lovely quilts, so I am only posting a few of my favorites, of which you can tell I love the bright scrappy ones the best.  We trundled down to the fire station and beheld The Van Gogh Cherrywood Challenge.   They are so awesome, they will be in my next post, all on their own.
