When is the quilt show in sisters oregon

Traditional quilts. Modern quilts. Simple quilts and elaborate quilts. Quilts that look like pictures and quilts that celebrate geometry. Every color under the rainbow is represented. The local volunteer firefighters also get into the act. By 9 AM everything is hanging up and the celebration officially begins. Walking up and down the streets, the quilt exhibits are an exciting feast for the eyes.

The town of Sisters has maintained an Old American West look to its architecture and having quilts hanging on the wooden facades just seems to fit this historic looking setting. Similar designs and colors are hung together. Quilt patterns and colors are combined to complement the buildings and spaces where they are hung. It is a curated outdoor gallery dedicated for just one day to the art of quilting in all of its forms.

If you are considering a trip to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, first start with the SOQS website to become familiar with all the events, activities and information related to this unique show.

I am also sharing my tips after attending the show and writing about it for Quiltmania magazine, to help you get the most out of the week long programs scheduled around this one day outdoor show. All too soon, it is 4 pm and the afternoon sunlight grows softer. The crowds slowly dissipate and the volunteers come back and quickly and efficiently take down the quilts. The cones that have kept the traffic off the main street are removed and cars are free to drive through town again.

The annual Around the Block Fiber Arts Stroll and Quilt Walk also showcases more than quilts inside local shops and restaurants during the month of July.
