July 6 - 10, 2020 1 Welcome to the 2020 Quilter’s Affair Class & Event Guide!

Thank you to all who visited the Stitchin’ Post, in person or online, and to all who attended Quilter’s Affair and the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show last year. It is always a pleasure to see familiar faces and a joy to make new friends. You honor us with your patronage, and we treasure you.

We are hard at work preparing for a fantastic Quilter’s Affair 2020. My staff and I strive to make your experience positive and we listen to your suggestions for improvements. As part of that, we are happy to debut a new website and registration process. New website features include: searching classes by teacher or day, teacher pages with bios and classes, cart hold, and easy navigation to all the information you need. We have added a worksheet to this guide to help you plan your visit (see p. 48). This year, lunches will be provided by Melvin’s, our local market–their food is outstanding, and we think you will love it. Thank you for all of your suggestions and your patience, as we strive to create a special experience for you.

2020 will bring back lots of our favorite teachers and some new faces. We have some special guests from Egypt, The Tent Makers of Cairo, coming to teach Egyptian appliqué all week long, as well as Jenny Bowker from Australia. They are the special event program for the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show on Wednesday night. You won’t want to miss it.

Quilter’s Affair offers more opportunity for education than any other textile art event in Oregon, and workshops abound throughout the year at Stitchin’ Post. Education is the foundation of our business! We welcome you to check our website frequently and subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date on all our workshops and events. You may subscribe online at https://mailchi.mp/stitchinpost.com/signup

Pick your main color scheme and add an accent color that pops with it. There is a lot of detailed piecing in this quilt, and strip-piecing and pre-cutting makes this a quicker quilt than it seems.
