A Message from SOQS Executive Director Dawn Boyd:
Celebrating “Golden Memories”
Welcome to the 50th Anniversary of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show! Whether this is your first visit or your 50th, we’re so glad you’re here to celebrate this incredible milestone with us. Fifty years ago, Jean Wells hung a few quilts outside her little shop — and with that simple act, a beautiful tradition began. Today, over 1,000 quilts line the streets of Sisters, lovingly stitched by makers from around the world and joyfully shared in the open air. This is more than a quilt show — it’s a living gallery, a reunion of kindred spirits, and a tribute to the artistry, generosity, and community that have shaped us over five decades. Our 2025 theme, “Golden Memories,” invites us all to reflect on the moments that have brought us here — the friendships formed, the quilts that took our breath away, the early mornings, and the joyful tears. You’ll find traces of these golden memories throughout the day: in the quilts, the stories, the laughter, and maybe even in a quiet moment of awe as you turn a corner
and see something unforgettable. On behalf of our Board of Directors and the entire Quilt Show team, I want to thank each and every one of you — the quilters, volunteers, visitors, sponsors, and supporters — who make this show what it is. And a heartfelt shout-out to the Sisters community, who open their arms (and walls!) each year with unwavering support and hospitality. This town is the soul of our show, and its spirit shines through in every detail. We hope you’ll take time to explore everything this special anniversary has to offer — from the incredible quilt displays and special exhibits, to our community events, The Golden Memories Walk, and of course, the people who make it all possible. Every stitch in this show carries a memory, and every visitor adds a new one to the story. Thank you for being part of our journey — and for helping us carry this legacy forward, one quilt at a time. Enjoy every moment. — Dawn Boyd
