The Stitchin' Post
Sisters, Oregon · Ships online too · Since 1975
Jean Wells' founding shop — the birthplace of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.
The Stitchin' Post has a claim almost no other shop can make: it's the birthplace of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, the event that has shaped this small Oregon town's identity for decades. Jean Wells opened the shop in 1975, and that heritage still shows in what's on the shelves.
This isn't a shop chasing every trend — it leans into modern and art quilting fabric, the kind of prints and solids suited to improvisational piecing rather than strict traditional blocks. The design classes reflect the same sensibility: less about following a pattern exactly, more about learning to see color and composition.
If you're ever in Sisters — for the quilt show or otherwise — it's worth the stop. Few shops anywhere can point to a whole town's identity and say, we started that.
