La Conner Quilt and Textile Museum

Sandy could not pass up the opportunity to visit a quilt museum inside the 1891 Tudor-style Victorian Mansion called Gaches Mansion. The exhibits rotate every three months. There were three exhibits: Color Me Wearable and Fiber Quest. The third was of traditional quilts along with many local quilts and aprons. Sandy has added a Webshots folder of the Quilt Museum and some of the quilts.

She also found a quilt shop in Anacortes called Fabric Plus. No surprise there! She fell in love with the Native American design called Raven Salmon. The designer Lisa Moore has a different approach to quilting designs. Sandy wanted to share this with her quilting friends so here’s the link to her website: http://www.quiltswithatwist.com/ Enjoy!

We spent one day driving south on Whidbey Island. We visited a few of the State Parks and stopped in Langley for a late lunch. Ft. Casey was very interesting with the 6-inch guns and the old lighthouse with a couple of - you guessed it! - quilts.

There also pictures of La Conner and Whidbey Island in the new WebShots folder. We will be in Hoodsport on Tuesday. We are excited to see the Olympia National Park and the other side of Puget Sound.
