Tillamook, Oregon, USA - The Latimer Center's collection includes quilts and items from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, quilt blocks quilt templates and fabric samples. There are also clothing, handwoven coverlets, looms, spinning wheels and other quilting and weaving textile tools and implements.  

Among the recent acquisitions is a quilt coverlet (pictured above) which was probably started by Harry Tyler, New York (1801-1858 and finished by his son, Elman (1829-1909).  The "Tyler Eagle," a motif designed by Elman, is woven into each corner.
