Grand Opening of Texas Quilt Museum

TX Quilt Museum garden
Texas Quilt Museum
La Grange, Texas
Suzanne Kittrell, Ruthann Fox, Carolyn Crump and I took a road trip yesterday for the Opening of the Texas Quilt Museum.  Look at the quilts painted on the outside wall.  The buildings have been lovingly restored/renovated.  We are looking through Grandmother’s Flower Garden (a traditional quilt block pattern) here.  The three galleries in the museum hold quilts of all kinds from the Lone Star III:  A Legacy of Texas Quilts. We ran into Nancy Dickey and Martha Tsihlas plus other people there.
Then on to Round Top to see the new location of Copper Shade Tree.  It is much expanded with a workshop next door for owner, Gerald Tabola.  The exhibit there now is of Male Quiltmakers.  Henkel Square is being rejuvenated.  I think we will not recognize the place by next year.
