The story

Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in Sisters

The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show turns downtown Sisters, Oregon into the world's largest outdoor quilt show every second Saturday in July, hanging more than 1,300 quilts from artists around the globe on buildings, fences and storefronts for a single day before it all comes down by evening.

The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show grew out of a simple, almost improvised idea: rather than build an indoor exhibition hall or rent convention space to display quilts, why not hang them directly on the buildings already standing in downtown Sisters?

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

No indoor gallery or convention hall could replicate what this show does: over 1,300 quilts, submitted by artists from around the world, are hung directly on downtown Sisters' buildings, fences and storefronts, turning the entire town into a single open-air gallery for one day each July

02

The mystery stays covered

The show draws more than 10,000 visitors to a town of only a few thousand residents, and because it started decades ago and has run essentially every year since, it now bills itself as the world's largest outdoor quilt show, a title earned simply by the sustained scale of turning a whole downtown into hanging gallery space rather than any single record-setting display
