We had a fabulous response to our STiTCH exhibit at the Stitches in Bloom Quilt Show at The Oregon Garden this past weekend. The positive comments and feedback were gratifying and made all of the hard work organizing and hanging our show worthwhile. I appreciate the Oregon Garden giving us the opportunity to show in a special exhibit. They gave us the OAN (Oregon Association of Nurserymen) room in the Pavilion. Ten minutes after the show opened Friday morning viewers filled our space and the crowd continued until 1:30 PM without a break when I finally got to go to lunch. Saturday was nearly as busy, while Sunday slowed down as anticipated, but it gave us more time for more in-depth discussions.
