July 5 - 9, 2021 1 Welcome to the 2021 Quilter’s Affair Class & Event Guide! Thank you to all who visited the Stitchin’ Post, in person or online, watched our YouTube videos during the week of quilt show, and watched the virtual 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 2021. 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 experi- ence for you. 2021 will bring back lots of our favorite teachers and some new faces. We hope to have some special guests from Egypt, The Tent Makers of Cairo, coming to teach Egyptian appliqué all week long. 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 to view our on line lectures and workshop offerings 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 We look forward to seeing you this summer, if not before, and invite you to stop by Stitchin’ Post anytime you are in Sisters, where we are very busy writing orders for new products that will fill the store to the brim by July!
