I was humbled and honored to be chosen as the Featured Quilter for February at Quiltworks here in Bend, OR. There is always a reception on the first Friday of the month to open the gallery. This month, however, we had a big snowstorm and for the first time ever, the reception was cancelled. The funny thing about that is….I had a dream the previous weekend that no one came to the reception. Looks like that was a foreshadowing of what actually happened. Even I didn’t show up!
Oh well, the quilts will be up the whole month. I thought I’d give you an overview of how the gallery looked with all the quilts hanging. It was overwhelming for me to see a lot of my quilts hanging in one place.
This is the view once you get to the loft.
Because of where they were displayed, a couple of the quilts were hard to photograph in the overview.
Mr CnW thought I needed to be in one of the pictures!
And this is me pointing to my bio that I wrote. Looks like I got a bit carried away since it ended up on 2 pieces of paper. I usually don’t have that much to say about myself.
A huge thanks to Marilyn and Dave (owners) and Mary Ann (their fabulous employee in charge of the display) for choosing me to be your Featured Quilter for February.
If you are ever in Bend, be sure and stop by the shop and take a look at that month’s display. It’s a wonderful experience.
Next week, I’ll share the February projects that Sandy and I have finished up!
Hugs, Anne

Wow! That is a GORGEOUS display! I'm sorry you missed your party! It's great to know someone famous though! Congratulations! Your work is FABULOUS! XO
Congratulations! What a wonderful Parade of Quilts. Your work is inspirational. Thank you for sharing!
I am totally speechless, my dear friend is so very talented. Truly, they are the fortunate ones to have your work in their shop. Miss you!!!
Your quilts are lovely. Wish I lived close enough to see them in person. Thanks for sharing.
I saw several of your quilts over on Lori's blog and recognized many of the patterns. But was wondering if you can tell me what the pattern is of the one in the 1st pix just about the stairs (houses with trees and animals)? Love them all and thanks for sharing!! Sorry your reception didn't happen.
And such beautiful quilts too. Glad I was able to come over and see them
I love the perspective of your photos...it makes the quilts even more amazing!
Such an inspiring display of your talent! I'm working on Country Homecoming right now & I see 5 more that are in my pattern library! Like Sherrill, I'm curious about the quilt with the houses, trees & animals! I saw it on Humble Quilts the other night and that rabbit just made me grin from ear to ear!
We went up those same steps a few years ago while visiting Bend to view another's exhibit of quilts. Brings back memories. Thoughts of the mountains always tug at my heartstrings.
Well done, Anne!
Congratulations and that is a beautiful display with all of your quilts.

Anne, Thank you for your generosity in sharing your beautiful quilts! The snow may have cancelled the evening but not the show!
Awesome event! You must have been so honored. Congrats. Enjoy the moment...
I saw the wonderful photos that Lori of Humble Quilts took of your quilts. So many good quilts. I like how the shop show cases the work of quilters.
Congrats Anne - What a treat it must be to have so many of your quilts displayed en masse! They're just beautiful.
As always I love, love, love your quilts! I only wished I lived in your area and I'd be bugging you for some one-on-one classes ;o). Congratulations on such an amazing quilt show - I think your quilts are amazing and you certainly deserve mountains of praise!!
Congratulations! You deserve every minute of your fame! Okay, I have to ask. In that picture showing the first quilts, did you do that one with the houses and trees that is over the stairs? If so, please tell me again what the pattern is.
All the quilts are so gorgeous. You are one talented lady. You go, girl!!! Hugs.
Oh, Mr. CnW was right. You Definitely needed to be in one of those pictures, maybe even more!!

It was a beautiful exhibit and only too bad that darn snow storm came that day!
Your quilts Anne are just gorgeous - both in workmanship and color. Even tho I couldn't be there to celebrate your special month I'm so happy I was able to see these beautiful quilts in your home last spring - because they are so much more amazing in person - and pretty amazing in the pics to - but to see them in your beautiful home was icing on the cake. Your the bestest P :).

Total Eye Candy! How wonderful to see all of your quilts -- my favorite will always be your Buggy Barn quilt -- looks like you got those borders to hang straight -- how did you fix it?
Incredible amount of work -- Just love looking at them.

You're SO stinkin' Cute Anne -- tell Mr. CnW Thank You from us for putting you into one of the pictures!
And HOLY COW Anne! LOOK at all those GORGEOUS quilts! SO much work! How wonderful to see them all displayed in one place. I love that they all have a feel to them that says "Anne Bryson made these." My quilts are so all over the place -- looks like a dog threw up the breakfast LOL.
THANKS for blogging about it Anne -- FABULOUS! And I LOVE LOVE that little quilt by your Bio!
A very impressive 'body of work'. Congratulations!!
Love all your quilts. Our tastes are similar. Could you tell me the name of the pattern/designer for the quilt in the first photo (the four rows of seasonal houses)?
Thanks for sharing.
