Annual Outdoor Quilt Show and Benefit for Strengthening Rural Families in Benton County - Live music, 80-110 quilts shown at Sweet Earth Vineyard in Monroe, Oregon (off hwy 99 halfway between U of O and OSU) Labor Day Weekend

I had no idea that there were events such as quilt showings! It really heightens my attention because I would love to go to an event such as this. It really reminds me that quilts really are pieces of arts. Not only in the way they are made but how they are displayed as well. It looked absolutely gorgeous looking at the pictures of the quilts hanging in the vineyard. This post and event really touches me personally because my grandmother loved to quilt and maybe I could be able to show one of her quilts one day adding my families culture and traditions to the world.

This sounds like a really fun time! Thanks for sharing. The next time I visit Seattle this time of year, I will definitely have to check this out.

I just came to Seattle to watch baseball tomorrow but sadly I think I miss the festival this time.. I should have come last weekend.

"The Vancouver Farmers Market is Southwest Washington's #1 visitor attraction and home to over 200 vendors. You'll discover fresh and local produce, flowers, plants, baked goods, delicious food, pet treats, and accessories for yourself, home, or garden from our unique artisans." One of my favorite attractions of my home town, this saturday market really captures the aspect of this sector that we discussed in class regarding 'branding'; it advertises the fresh local produce along with selections of wine from local vendors.

StumbleUpon is a discovery engine (a form of web search engine) that finds and recommends web content to its users. Its features allow users to discover and rate Web pages, photos, and videos that are personalized to their tastes and interests using peer-sourcing and social-networking principles. I use StumbleUpon to bookmark creative or inspiring websites and to explore other art forms.

I like this StumbleUpon! I found the coolest page that shows how to fold a square of fabric into 12 or so different styles of sack- er wrap. I like the wine bag :)

I love using stumbleupon as another resource for viewing and reading about different art, music, activities, and other creative art sectors. I like how you can narrow down your searches to your specific interests.
