Quilters celebrate completion of projects

In quilting vernacular, a "PHD" is a "Project Half Done." The East of the Cascades Quilters, based in Sisters, celebrated the completion of many "PHD's" on Wednesday, October 23.

East of the Cascades Quilters showcased members' work this month.

The guild began the process in May by having participating members submit a list of partially completed quilt or craft projects. The deadline for completing the projects was the October meeting. As each individual completed a project, they submitted a form showing its completion date. At the regular meeting of the guild, members shared their projects via "show and tell." There were over 50 projects completed, and everyone enjoyed seeing the results.

The guild has a membership of around 50 quilters. Most members live in Sisters, but there are several members who live in Redmond, Bend, and Camp Sherman. The guild has a charity group that makes quilts for kids. They also support the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.

The guild meets the fourth Wednesday of the month September through May at Stitchin' Post at 4 p.m. Meetings for November and December this year will be a week earlier due to holidays.
