A Message from SOQS Executive Director Dawn Boyd:
We believe in community
Welcome to our 47th annual Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, and on behalf of our board of directors, thank you for joining us today! We are proud to present to you our community and believe we have created an event that will fill your heart and soul with beautiful quilts. We hope you enjoy the day filled with the sights and sounds of Sisters, making new friends, becoming inspired, and feeling part of the SOQS community. Our theme for the 2022 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show — “Community” — was selected as our board recognized how important our community has been to us in the past two years: our community of Sisters and its amazing support of the Quilt Show; our community of quilters who share their art with us; our community of volunteers, who help to make the Quilt Show happen (often the silent heroes of our show); and our community of those who choose to walk through life with us. We are truly appreciative of those in our community who have partnered with us to make today happen: the City of Sisters, Deschutes County Sheriff ’s Office, ODOT, SistersCamp Sherman Fire District, our local businesses, our donors, and our many volunteers
and quilters. We are here today because of the support we have received from all of you. The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show has always been free to attend, and always will be. We hope that you will consider supporting the Quilt Show with a donation or becoming a Friend of the Show to help offset our expenses, and to help our board continue to fulfill that commitment. Our board is committed to celebrating our community and continues to focus on our mission “to celebrate the art, skill, and heritage of quilting and fiber arts, while enhancing the cultural vitality of Sisters and Central Oregon and providing enrichment opportunities for area youth.” We are able to do this with your support! The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show is a bucket list item for many. No matter if this is your first time here, or if you are a seasoned veteran attending the show, we want every visit to be memorable. This year’s Quilt Show is filled with quilts from around the country, and around the world. We are so thankful you are here! Enjoy every moment. — Dawn Boyd
