Quilts on exhibit at library in July
The Sisters Outdoor Quilt
Show is showing two quilt
exhibits at the Sisters Branch
of the Deschutes Public
Library for the month of July.
Featured at the Sisters Library
are a mix of art and contem-
porary quilts, some made by
nationally recognized quilters
and some created by Oregon
quilters who used inks to cre-
ate photo-like quilts.
“MIX: Materials In The
Extreme” features 21 small
pieces by seven artists. MIX
artists developed a series of
new works examining the
concept of “in the extreme.”
Whether it be through use
of a single theme or similar
technique, the work explores
material, shape, or distortion
and color “in the extreme.”
To further unify the body of
work, each piece is rendered
at 18 inches square.
MIX is a Portland-based
group of artists dedicated
to the creation of fiber art.
Members of this group cre-
ate bodies of work for exhibit
venues and display. The group
meets once a month to cri-
tique, challenge, and encour-
age one another, while explor-
ing the design principles of

their craft and other art media.
Members have used a wide
range of techniques in their art
including surface design (such
as dyeing, printing, painting,
screen printing, embroidery,
etc.), piecing and appliqué
(including fusing), quilting
(machine and by hand), and
several others.
“Painting Quilts with Ink”
is an exhibition of quilts made
by various Oregon artists who
learned the technique from
Prineville author, artist, and
quilter June Jaeger. Using
Tsukineko inks as paints, these
five quilt artists used a favor-
ite photograph as inspiration
to create their own fabric pic-
ture. Employing techniques of
texture, “dry brush” and inno-
vative painting brings these
fabric portraits and pictures to
life. Finishing and quilting the
paintings enhanced the quilts
to become unique one-of-a-
kind creations.
Exhibits will be on display
July 1-30 during library hours:
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-
Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturdays. For more informa-
tion call 541-312-1070.

Movie house offers
late-night showings
As the sun goes down,
many shops in Sisters close
their doors, leaving locals and
tourists with few things to do
in the evenings.
This summer, those look-
ing for something to do after
the sidewalks roll up are in
luck. Beginning this week,
the Sisters Movie House will
be open for an additional late
showing on Friday nights.
“When I first built the
Movie House in 2005, I
hoped to add something new
to the community that would
complement the vibrant activ-
ity throughout Sisters,” said
owner Lisa Clausen. “As the
Movie House approaches its
10-year anniversary, we have
been re-examining how we
fulfill this goal, and thinking
of ways to better serve the res-
idents of Sisters. Along with
our popular ‘Ladies Night
Out’ events that began a few
months ago, we thought that a
later showing during the sum-
mer would provide the youth
and night-owls of our commu-
nity with something to do in
the evening.”

The late showing on

summer. Specific film times
for each week are available
