The La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum is the quilting jewel of the Pacific Northwest. Located in the Gaches Mansion, and built in 1891, it welcomes quilters and textile artists far and wide to enjoy their many local and international exhibits. Initially founded by La Conner resident Rita Hupy and with the help of local quilters, grants, and the additional work of an entire community, the museum is now a destination for those who wish to be inspired. Besides rotating exhibits featuring local and international quilters, they also have fiber groups that meet regularly. Workshops and events are planned throughout the year and reservations are required.

From September 30-October 2nd The Quilt & Fiber Arts Festival, an international juried and judged show, will be held at the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum. You can find more information at www.laconnerquilts.org. It might be a great time to plan a Fall trip to La Conner!!!

(Note: There is still room left in the Lea McComas (Show 1609) and Sue Rasmussen (Show 1205) workshops at the museum.  Also, Quilt & Fiber Arts Festival "Mini" Classes Now Open for Registration! Click here for more information...)
 

There was a wonderful exhibit by the American Quilt Study Group at the museum that I was allowed to share with you. I love the quilt challenges that quilt groups develop and it is amazing to see the results. Enjoy the slide show and maybe you'll want to encourage your guild or quilt group to take a field trip to the La Conner Museum!
