(333) QUILTS FROM THE SEA & BEYOND
Rob Appell
Wednesday, July 11 –
7:00 pm
$12
Sisters H.S.
It is not too often that you come across a quilter such as Rob Appell |
|
– unless you spend a few days in Sisters, Oregon every July!
Rob’s high energy, and often humorous, approach to quilt instruction has made him an up and coming star in the high desert, as well as around the United States. He got his “Textiles 101” degree in his mother’s quilt shop (now his own) – The Cotton Ball in Morro Bay, California – and has dabbled in just about every facet of the textile industry. He has designed fabrics, an embroidery collection, and written his own quilt book as well as numerous patterns. Come and spend an evening with Rob as he takes you along his journey to becoming a Quilting Adventure Guide.
