Movin’ on up
July 3rd, 2011
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen; Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’, Just to get up that hill.
And down the hill. And back up the hill. Up another hill.
Around 3 mountains (South Sister, Middle Sister, North Sister)…
Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show here we come!
The Portland Modern Quilt Guild is converging on the 36th Annual
Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show™ on Saturday, July 9th - and we even have an exhibit there! I hope everyone who’s going, will stop by and visit us. We’ll be in the courtyard between Paulina Springs Books and Jennifer Lake Gallery (Violet and I have the first shift).
At the Stitchin’ Post from 1-3, PMQG’s Susan Beal will be there to do a book signing for her crazy awesome Modern Log Cabin Quilting book during the show. Susan’s signing is not to be missed!
A bunch of us from PMQG that are attending the SOQS are armed with a phone and twitter account. No doubt we’ll be tweet’n and a twitpic’n - so keep an eye on us!

Some of us will be at Sisters for four days in a vacation rental (Yammer Time!). Sweet Hot Yams + sewing machines + Sangria: things may or may not get out of hand… and I will deny everything.

July 4th, 2011Ooooh …. another road trip! Can’t wait to see all the beautiful quilts and hear about your adventures.
I’ve always wanted to go to the Sister’s quilt show, but it’s a looong drive from the East Coast.
Thank you, Monica, for taking us along for the ride!

July 4th, 2011Have a happy 4th, Monica!
Wow, now I’m depressed. Second Saturday in July is better in Sisters. I’ll probably be doing something boring, like sitting inside with the A/C on. Have fun.
July 4th, 2011Man oh man, batten down the hatches, she”ll be coming round the mountain! (I’m just so jealous, friends, cards, booze and quilts…in no particular order)
July 4th, 2011Just moving to Portland this week…maybe next year?
July 4th, 2011What happens on a road trip, stays on a road trip! I would love to be there, but will have to settle on blogland this year!
July 4th, 2011I’m still trying to figure out a way to ditch the family reunion and head East. You never know. I may pop up when you least expect it. bwahaha!
July 4th, 2011This would be a fab trip! Have a great time!
July 4th, 2011OMG, Sisters won’t know what hit ‘em. Love your road trip graphic, that’s a hoot!! I was there 2 years too early…boohoo to miss you all! Have a wonderful time. I know the courtyard exactly, so I will be able to picture you all there, holding court in the yard. Go yams!
July 4th, 2011Oh Monica - I was all boring snoring this morning just sitting around waiting for the 4th festivities around here and now I’m all aflutter! I better go start packing! wheeeeeeeeeee!!!!
