QOF Episode 212 - Sister's Outdoor Quilt Show with Dawn Boyd
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2025, the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show (SOQS) has grown from a modest display of a dozen quilts in 1975 to the world's largest outdoor quilt show, featuring over 1,300 quilts from artists around the globe.
My guest today is Dawn Boyd, the Executive Director of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in Oregon held annually on the second Saturday in July. The event attracts more than 10,000 visitors to the charming town of Sisters, Oregon, transforming its streets into a vibrant landscape of color and creativity with quilts. The show's mission—to celebrate the art, skill, and heritage of quilting—continues to thrive, enriching the culture of Sisters, Oregon and everyone who visits the show.
In this episode, we'll get into the history of the show, explore its impact on the community, and hear about the exciting plans for this milestone 50th year.
