Wednesday, June 28, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 23 BendBroadband features Sisters resident in TV commercial Local Internet, TV, and phone services provider BendBroadband will soon launch another installment of its Internet campaign, this time featuring Sisters resi- dent June Jaeger. Building on the company’s promotional series that highlights inspir- ing Central Oregonians such as ultra-runner Max King and chainsaw artist Skip Armstrong, Jaeger will be fea- tured for her quilting. “We admire the art- istry, vision, and detailed work of quilters like June,” said Shelby Little, cre- ative services manager at BendBroadband. “She’s an accomplished artist, a teacher, and a fifth-generation Central Oregonian. Her grandmother walked the Oregon Trail as a child. She’s an inspira- tion to our company and our community.” The metaphors of hard work, precision, and com- munity that play out in the TV commercial are not lost on Jaeger. Between all of her commitments, she nar- rowly had time to accept a commissioned project for BendBroadband: to design and create a custom quilt for the 2017 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. “I knew I wanted to make room in my schedule for this project,” said Jaeger. The resulting quilt, docu- mented in the TV commercial, is a brilliant representation of BendBroadband’s logo. The image of a running dog is expressively captured in fabric pieces using the com- pany’s characteristic orange, which is paired unexpectedly with textured violets, yel- lows and cream hues.

The quilt will be on display at the quilt show and incor- porated into promotions this summer. The 36-by-50-inch quilt took about six weeks to complete, Jaeger said. “The BendBroadband team was fun to work with,” she said. “I’ve really enjoyed this project.” Jaeger has been quilting for more than 45 years and cred- its her sister Jean Wells for introducing her to the craft. Wells owns Stitchin’ Post on West Cascade Avenue, where Jaeger often teaches classes. Both sisters will be active at the quilt show, with Jaeger teaching five days in a row preceding the event. “I really enjoy teaching,” she says. “I still learn from others, and I find it very inspirational.” In addition to teaching, Jaeger designs quilt patterns JULY J U L OF with a Cookout!
