Stitches in Bloom

Quilters from all over Oregon and southern Washington state represented at the Stitches in Bloom Quilt Show last weekend, filling up the garden's exhibition hall with nearly 200 quilts. The Studio Art Quilt Associates also debuted their special exhibit called "Oregon: State of Diversity II". I spent a few hours at the show, here's what I found interesting.

In the modern category: 

"Bamboo" by Helen Gabriel, Woodburn, quilted by Patricia Bates

"Heather Ross Improv" by Lara Giles, Oak Grove
