Road Trip to LaConner Quilt Musem

This is the Gaches mansion houses the La Conner Quilt and Textile Museum in La Conner Washington. Friday I drove three of my mini quilt group down to see the current displays and check out a few quilt shops in the area along with lunch.  Check out their link here.

 This lovely light hangs over the front door.  The museum has three floors that are open to the public.  On the first floor there was a display of antique Crazy Quilts, on the third floor was Out of the Blue Whidbey Island Surface Design [this one you could not photograph.]

On the second floor was the display I wanted to see.  Last April I took a three day class and had a lecture with Sue Spargo that I thoroughly enjoyed. Here is a link to the first of the posts from that experience.

 This is one of the projects I hope to make in the future, Crimson Tweed.
