Just got back from a mini vacation up by Sisters, Oregon, where they have an outdoor quilt show the second Saturday in July, and quilt classes the week before. I took my first classes this year, the third time I have attended the show. Barbara Shapel covered several background quilting designs, most of them new to me. Then I took a Lone Star class made from 2 1/2" strips, which left a lot to be desired. I ended up redrafting the design in EQ7 so I could get accurate cutting instructions. Love the design though, and the concept of using some of those strips that we love to buy. Below is my center - still need to add a bunch of borders!

The ladies who went to the show with me
Lots of feathered star quilts - I want to make one
also want to make a Castle Wall quilt - these were large blocks!

Lucky you! Your quilt teacher, Colleen Blackwood, was our Guild program last month. She lives just over the Washington/Oregon border from me. She does great quilting and even writes poems, did she share any with you at the class?
She didn't share any poems, too bad. Any must see stuff when I head up towards Portland/Mt. Hood? Or is that too far away from you? I know Colleen is more eastern Oregon, and I will be in the west, mostly.
