On the late morning and early afternoon of Saturday, July 20, 2024, the lovely surroundings of Evelyn Schliffer Memorial Park in Beaverton, Oregon came alive with the vibrant colors and intricate patterns of quilts at the MPS bi-annual Outdoor Quilt Show. The quilts were gracefully hung among the trees, where they danced in the gentle breeze, creating a picturesque tapestry against the summer sky.
The weather was nothing short of perfect, providing an ideal setting for this beloved event, which also featured a fabric sale. Attendees had the opportunity to explore almost 75 quilts, showcasing a diverse range of styles, including art, modern, traditional, and challenge quilts. Each quilt told its own story, reflecting the creativity and craftsmanship of its maker.
Visitors enjoyed the cool shade provided by the trees, the refreshing breeze, and the excitement of discovering bargains at the fabric sale. Everyone appreciated the peaceful escape into the world of quilting.
A heartfelt THANKS goes out to Linda H and her army of volunteers for organizing and producing the show. And thanks to all who shared their beautiful quilts for the event. We are also grateful to Joyce C and Deb M for doing an outstanding job of documenting the show with photos.

As the summer marches on, I have pleasure thinking about the Outdoor Quilt Show – everything came together with such teamwork and cooperation: bundles of wonderful fabric, tables popped up, clothes lines were strung, quilts hung beautifully, lots of time to chat with quilters not seen for awhile and greet new quilting friends to the guild, and share our passion with those just out strolling. Smiles everywhere! Thank you all!
What a wonderful quilt show! I plan to enter a quilt next year
Thank you for sharing. Such a lovely show and incredible artists.
So greatful for this video and the zoom presentation because I was not able to attend the show this year. As always, I’m proud to be a part of this guild. Each and every member is an inspiration in her or his own way…Kathy W
