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:
SOQS/Wish Project
P.O. Box 280
Sisters, OR 97759
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.
Here's a link for instructions to make a fabric postcard:

other fabric postcards raised over $12,000 for Wendy’s Wish
Foundation.

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 Stitchin’ Post.
You need not be present to win the
quilt.
Please send ticket requests to:
Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show/TIX
P.O. Box 280, Sisters, OR 97759
Cash or check only please
We appreciate stickers with your name & phone number for ticket
orders of $10.00 or more.
To order over the internet with your credit card, please click

A pattern for “Timeless” and a kit for the center panel will be on
