Paige's Cowboy Quilt

I finished a quilt for Paige this week. It is a Cowboy Quilt which she made for her husband, Lee. She used a pattern designed by Karla Alexander called Rail Fences. I used an E2E Open Meander design with Superior Thread called Sand Storm. Here are a few pictures of the quilt:

Happy August.

It is hard to believe this is the first weekend in August. Last weekend, my college friend Jan and her husband Darrell and son Travis came for a visit for 3 days(Fri-Sun). I went to college with her at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas from 1972-1974. This was their first trip to the Pacific Northwest and where here a week. I have visited with them after the Quilt Show in Houston in 2008 and 2011. They live in a town north of Houston called The Woodlands. We took them to McMinnville to the Evergreen Museum to see the Spruce Goose on Friday and then Sat took them to see the coast. We went to Lincoln City, Depoe Bay and Newport. They loved the coast after walking along the beach, seeing a gray whale, seeing a lighthouse and clam chowder. It was fun to show them our beautiful coast. Here are a few pictures:

Oregon Summer Quilt Expo in Redmond

I wanted to post a picture of Libby's quilt in the Roy Pilgrim Challenge.

Oregon Summer Quilt Expo

I went to this 1st expo in Redmond on Thurs. I went mainly to see the Roy Pilgrim exhibit to see Nancy Brown's quilt. She was a speaker at our guild in March and she stayed at my house for 2 nights. She had this quilt in progress when she came out here and had to finish it by mid April. The expo had several exhibits and great vendors. I will post pictures of Nancy's quilt.

38th Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show

Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show July 13, 2013

I got up early to go to the Quilt Show. I got to see the fire dept hanging the quilts on the side of the Stitching Post. I did a few pictures before my camera battery went dead. I enjoyed seeing as many quilts as possible. The quilts are hanging all over town. It is impossible to see all the quilts. Here are a few pictures of the 38th Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show:
