The Willamette Valley and the Cascades (MT. Hood, MT. Jefferson and the Three Sisters)

The State of Oregon
In October my friend Kay and I are having a show called "A Quilted Conversation"...I respond to a quilt of hers, she responds to a quilt of mine, and we make a quilt together that we collaborate on. Last weekend we finished the collaborative quilt top, and this week I finished my "response" quilt, responding to her terrific "State of Oregon" quilt. Today I start the quilting. Oregon is big and varied, and..ahem..so is my quilt top. It looks a bit overwhelming, but some of the details are nice. So here's a quick tour of the state:
Crater Lake
The John Day river
The Willamette Valley and the Cascades (MT. Hood, MT. Jefferson and the Three Sisters)
The coast range, the beach and the ocean.
Off I go!

Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of a response to the friend's quilt. Continuous creativity must flow every time you see one another. The names fit just right to each of the quilts.
Fabulous!! Hope it was fun. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
ReplyDeletevery very NICE...I was born in Oregon and I recognize ALL the places...even John Day! Thanx for sharing!
ReplyDeletePortland and Salem got the bridges across the Willamette but Corvallis only got a button...hope you weren't born there!?
ReplyDeleteIt is gonna be a treat for all to see the quilt as a whole. I love each teaser section that you have shown.
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful Bonnie. Such a simple idea, but what a great execution!
