 This
year’s poster takes us on a visual tour of our show founder’s “Inspired
Journey”. The images commemorate Jean’s evolution from traditional quilter to
‘intuitive’ quilt artist. Jean has shared her inspiration throughout her career
of teaching, lecturing and writing and has influenced the work of thousands of
quilters along the way.
Jean says, “My life has been in “Inspired Journey”
when it comes to quilting. As a nine year old I discovered sewing and embroidery
and this began my love affair with the creativity involved in sewing, quilting,
and knitting. I have been fortunate to have turned these interests into a career
of teaching and lecturing, writing books, and owning a retail store. The journey
is never ending for me.
Recurring themes in my quilts
have to do with natural configurations – rocks, trees, flowers, and the
landscape. These are a common thread running through my mind as I work
intuitively designing quilts, letting the design take on a shape and color all
its own. My fascination is with line, pattern, color, and texture and how to
design with these elements in mind.”

Quilt Show Lodging Network, a Yahoo Group website dedicated to connecting
people seeking lodging with lodging providers in Central Oregon. Lodging
providers may range from established hotels, motels and B&B's to private
individuals who may have an apartment, vacation home or extra room in their home
available. If you are a lodging provider please join the group and post a
message describing your offer completely. Those seeking lodging should join the
group and then check posted messages for lodging availability. You can
also post a message to publicize your lodging needs to potential providers.
