Jean Wells
"M. Wetmore" wrote in message ... I saw Jean Wells on Simply Quilts yesterday. What a delightful woman she is. I have two of her books, Willowood and Buttonhole Stitch Applique and I love them both. I recently ran across another book of hers called Patchwork Quilts Made Easy. It looks a lot like a beginners book. I am not a beginner (I think you can call me "intermediate"). But, it looks like the book has some interesting quilt projects. So my question is...if you own the book, is it worthwhile for me to buy it? And, lastly, I know that Jean and Valori Wells (her daughter) live in Sisters Oregon and have a shop called The Stitching Post. Are they responsible for the Sisters Oregon quilt show? Has anyone gone to the Sisters Oregon quilt show? If so, would it be worth our travelling from California to Oregon to see it?

She started it over 25 years ago. The problem is it is TODAY!!! so you've missed it, but that's okay you can plan for next year. It's in the high desert, very hot and not much breeze. Take lots of film, water, sunscreen and your own food. Their prices are very high. Good luck finding accomodation. I usually stay in Salem and drive the 1 1/2+ hours in on the day of the show and plan on getting there early while it's still a bit cool. By mid afternoon, you want to be someplace else.
