She moved to Sisters in 2007 and was bit- ten by the quilting bug shortly thereafter. Cobb said, <I9ve always liked to sew and used to make Halloween costumes for myself, including one that was a black widow spider.= Cobb noted that she doesn9t have a specific style. <I make my own arrange- ments and will make large bed quilts and art quilts. I like quilts that are usable because I like art that is functionable.= She added, <I was look- ing for someone to quilt my fabric tops that are all pieced together along with my back, and through word of mouth I found Betty Anne, who is a long-arm quilter.= Guadalupe opened her long-arm quilting business, Guadalupe Designs, in 2006. <I9m a self-taught person although I did grow up in a home where there were quil- ters,= said Guadalupe. <But didn9t actually make a quilt until I was in my 40s.= She began quilting in the 1990s, learning the craft from a variety of different teachers while living in California.

After working in a couple of quilt shops, she bought an industrial long arm quilt- ing machine and works it on a 12-foot table. Guadalupe is now well known for her expertise at long-arm quilting. During Guadalupe9s quilt- ing career, she has made, donated, and given away many quilts to family and friends. Guadalupe noted that she is drawn to abstract quilting. <I9ll start with a pile of fab- rics and, after I begin piecing, the quilt takes on a life of its own.= Cobb and Guadalupe both venture out into many differ- ent genres of quilting. They both enjoy the creative pro- cess and have become close friends. Cobb said, <It9s an honor to be chosen together as featured quilters. We both got together right away to approach this as a team and have 14 quilts we are showing.= Cobb and Guadalupe will be showcasing collabora- tive pieces and some of their own quilts. Guadalupe did the quilting on all of Cobb9s pieces. The featured quilters dis- play their work on the cor- ner of Ash Street and Hood Avenue on the grounds of Ponderosa Properties on Quilt Show day, Saturday, July 13.
