2nd Annual Oakland Quilt Show

Nothing is easier than getting a bunch of ladies together when they all have an interest in quilting then having a quilt show close to home.  Does it count that we never knew about the first Oakland Quilt Show so missed it last year.  Chris had a car load of ladies and my daughter, Sarah, and family came down for it from Portland.  (We sent the guys fishing!)

It didn't take us long to cross the street and start looking...

 

 

Not the biggest town in Oregon but .... one with lots of character. There were 100 quilts hung for the day and they went from very traditional to art quilts.

 

 



The girls were going to count the animals they found in the quilts.  After 100 they gave up.

 

 

This one was really cute and a pattern that we hadn't seen before.

Doris was the featured quilter and she is a member of the Umpqua Valley Quilt Guild.  She is one very talented art quilter.... this quilt was begun last year at the quilt retreat and is an original.  Doris does not use patterns when putting her quilts together.....she is amazing to watch as she works through design and color.

 

 

Bedtime in the barn...

and....a bit of silliness...

How many family members can you stuff in a phone booth?  In fact - when was the last time you saw a phone booth....

Happy Good Times!
