We happened to see the lady that made the quilt here.
The show was very welled organized with maps of the town and if you were looking for a specific quilt - you could check at the show office for it's location. With 1400 quilts it would be easy to miss, I am sure we only saw a fraction of all the quilts!
We had arrived in Sisters at about 9:30 by about 3:00 I had seen enough quilts and just needed to sit in the shade. Luckily we were being picked up at 3:30.
There had been tentative plans to attend a Summer festival in downtown Bend where we were staying however rain dampened those plans. The bus went to Hobby Lobby instead for a quick look around. Five of us decided we weren't quilted out yet and took a taxi to another BJ's Quilt Basket. What a wonderful store. I still had by Dejongs name tag on and they asked if we were part of a bus tour as they hadn't been expecting us. We shopped a little (or a fair amount) and then asked if they would call us a cab back to the hotel. They did one better - they gave us some free gifts and then the owners drove us themselves. This was totally unexpected but a great end to a great day.





































































How fun! One of these years!
