Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Turns 35 With Gala Celebration – Sisters Oregon

 The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show turns 35 this year, and you're invited to the party!

When the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show turns 35 this year it will celebrate with a a gala fundraiser, Tuesday, July 6, 2010, from 5 to 8pm. Featured events include a special Quilt Show retrospective, a silent auction, music and good food, friendship and fun. Tickets are only $35 per person and the proceeds will help support what has become the largest outdoor quilt show in the world.

It all began when Jean Wells Keenan decided to hang a dozen quilts made by her students outside her quilt shop one Saturday in July, and over the past 35 years the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show has grown into an annual event that contributes an estimated $1.7 million to the local economy, the equivalent of 26 jobs to the Sisters area, and donations since 2004 of over $50,000 to various local charities, school and civic organizations in Sisters and Central Oregon. The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show is now a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that supports the community through a variety of fundraisers, auctions, and educational opportunities, including the Quilters Affair Classes and Events, the Around The Block Fiber Arts Stroll, and the Wish Upon a Card fundraiser.

Please mark the date on your calendars and help support the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.
