Deep in the Columbia River Gorge, where Lewis and Clark first spotted spectacular Mount Hood, quilters on both sides of the river make spectacular quilts!
This weekend, they have prepared a wonderful quilt show for you at the Hood River Armory in Hood River, Oregon. This is the place to be! Fabulous fall weather, fall harvest produce, amazing views, and QUILTS! All just a quick drive upriver from Portland and Vancouver WA.
Right on the famous "Fruit Loop", Hood River is a great destination, anyway. Bring your friends!
Threadmongers will be there! Winter is coming...you need thread! Time to stock up! When that snow/ice storm/torrential rain comes, and you are inside your cozy quilting space, with lots of fabric and hot coffee/tea/hot chocolate, will you have enough thread??? Don't take a chance - get the threads in colors you need NOW, at one of the last quilt shows of the year.
Here's the link:

Be SURE to read their quilt show newsletter at the link. So much information!!
I'm so lucky to be living in a town full of quilters! This is the sixth annual show for the Woolley Fiber Quilters and this year we are celebrating the Skagit farming community with the theme "Blast of Farms". You can find out all about it at:

In the meantime, have you seen these? They are the DELICIOUS new #8 pearl cottons from Wonderfil, designed by Sue Spargo! Brand new in the thread world, they come in variegated and solid colors and are wound on spools instead of the little pearl cotton balls you may be used to.
70 yards per spool. A tight twist and wonderful smooth surfaces to help you make those intricate and beautiful Sue Spargo stitches!
The line is called "Eleganza". So many to appreciate!!
The Threadmonger HAS THEM ALL!! At Blast of Farms this weekend and at all upcoming shows this year. Get ready for a new thread adventure! Oh, I know you are already primed for this one!!
See you at Blast of Farms, June 5-6-7!!
You need thread!
