Sisters artist honored for Quilt Show poster

Sisters artist Dennis McGregor was honored earlier this month at the 2003 NorthWest ADDY Award competition held in Boise, Idaho.

The competition is the second of a three-tiered national competition conducted annually by the American Advertising Federation (AAF).

McGregor Design earned an Addy Silver Award for last year's Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show poster.

McGregor's work is eligible for the national competition, but the artist said he is not sure whether he will enter.

"I think the poster succeeded because it sort of tipped its hat to patriotism in the wake of 9-11," McGregor said. "That strikes a chord with people."

McGregor's work will be featured in two forthcoming coffeetable books from the Minneapolis publisher Voyager Press.

"This Old Guitar" will feature art used in a Sisters Folk Festival Poster and "This Old Quilt" will feature images from McGregor's Quilt Show posters.

The books will be published in Fall 2003.
