We’ve raised close to $30,000 in the past three years with the Wish Project and we’re not ready to stop yet!  We’re asking for donations of fabric postcards for a juried show and silent auction.  Selected cards will be custom framed, compliments of our sponsor High Desert Gallery.  Cards not selected for framing will also be sold and the proceeds from the sale & silent auction will be donated to Wendy’s Wish Foundation, www.wendyswish.org.  Wendy’s Wish was envisioned by Central Oregon quilter Wendy Huntley prior to her death from cancer in 2006.  The Foundation provides funding for cancer pre-screening and support services to those who are unable to afford them. 

·         Postcards should be 4” x 6”. 

·         To be considered for silent auction, cards must be received by April 15

·         Please include your name and address and mail to:

Framed cards will be on display beginning July 3, during the Around the Block Fiber Arts Stroll.  The silent auction will end on Saturday, July 10, Quilt Show day.  Please check back here in 2010 for details about the location and sale of the postcards.

Some things never change – the mountains, the pines, our love of  quilting! The scene in this year’s raffle quilt could be from an airing of the quilts 100 years ago, 50 years ago or the 2010 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. “Timeless” was designed by June Jaeger of Log Cabin Quiltworks in Prineville, Oregon. Jackie Erickson from the Stitchin’ Post coordinated the project and members of the East of the Cascades Quilters took on the piecing as one of their many contributions to the show. Proceeds from the annual raffle quilt support the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, a non-profit organization benefiting the schools and community of Sisters and Central Oregon. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. Tickets can be purchased with the Order Form. The winning ticket will be drawn at 4:00 pm on Saturday, July 10th, Quilt Show day, at the S
