"Rio Hondo" by Katie Pasquini Masopust
While you are taking in the Houston Quilt Festival, why not take a short drive to visit the Texas Quilt Museum for this rare opportunity to see 54 quilts from the collection of John M. Walsh III.
The quilts on display are a veritable Who's Who of world-class artists (many of whom have been featured on TQS). On display are works including Michael James, Therese May,Terry Hancock Mangat, Linda Colsh, Velda Newman, Susan Shie, Arydyth Davis, and Robin Schwalb. The show runs from October 2-December 21, 2014.
The Texas Quilt Museum is located at 140 W. Colorado St., La Grange, Texas 78945. It opened in 2011 and is housed in two 19th-century buildings in the Historic District of La Grange. Its restoration has won both Preservation Texas and Main Street awards. The Museum complex also includes a period Texas garden with a monumental 13’ x 85’ outdoor mural, Quilts: History in the Making, as its focal point. Learn more at www.texasquiltmuseum.org.
