family reunion: quilt shops in Bend, OR
This is a couple of weeks late. DH's big
family reunion is every two years and this year, they picked Sunriver, OR, which is 20 miles south of Bend. It was fabulous seeing all the cousins and the kids had fun. Sunriver is about 40 miles from Sisters, so DH insisted that we make that trip to The Stitchin Post. I loved the store, but didn't have a project in mind and the store was so huge with so many beautiful quilts hanging, so I wandered aimlessly and ended up with a book and a calendar. Pillbug was very good; he sat on the bench at the front of the store and stimmed quietly. Rocky fell asleep so DH stayed in the car with him. DH and the rest of the family were stunned that I went to The Stitchin Post and did not buy fabric. I was a bit overwhelmed. Maryd was kind enough to post a list of stores in Bend before I went, so I used that to figure out where to go next. I went to Sew Many Quilts... So Little Time. (The nice thing about calling for directions in a small town like Bend is you can say "I'm in the parking lot at Fred's" and they'll know exactly where you are!) This time it was just Rocky and me, so I was able to get some fabulous blue fabric. We then went to Mountain Country Mercantile, which was absolutely lovely! Miles and miles of fabric. I got another book. The day before we left, DH had to take his brother to the Greyhound station. Turns out the Greyhound station was in Sisters, so the brother told DH to get some fabric for me. DH, ON HIS OWN, figured out a collection of blue fat eighths for me!!! I was totally astounded when he came back in with the package. It was a great trip. The reunion was wonderful enough, but to go to three quilt shops was a great bonus. -- Anita -- |
