We met with Mark and Karen for lunch at a Mexican restaurant and after lunch Walt drove us to a little town called Rickreall, Oregon. It was just a 11 mile drive from where we ate lunch. Rickreall is a little town out in the country and we left the highway and drove to the fair grounds. The quilt show was being done in 2 building on the fair grounds. Walt stayed busy by going to two wineries and a museum across from the quilt show.
The show was great. Karen increased her level of knowledge pertaining to quilts and I was impressed at the difference of the quilts content from the quilt show I went to in Florida. Each area has their own slant on things. In this area we saw a lot of quilts that were hand appliqued and a large amount of machine quilting. This generation loves to get a quilt machine quilted so they can go to the next project. Hand quilting is just to slow for the modern generation so many people have become experts at machine quilting.
The first 3 quilts are major winners----
