Latimer Quilt and Textile Center

Yesterday, March 15th I talked a little about the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center in Tillamook, Oregon. It's a cool place to visit even for the guys. Guys quilt, too you know!

Latimer feature contemporary and vintage quilts in their gallery but, there are also some impressive paper and textile displays. I'm going to call it Oregon Art at it's best!

There are some nice folks at Latimer Quilt and you should visit...it's an excellent and productive thing to do. And, if nothing else go on the "Quilt Trail" excursion, in and around Tillamook. Kind of like "Barn Stars" except they are "Quilts" painted on the side of barns and buildings.

Photos Of Quilts-Latimer

Tillamook, Oregon has a cool quilt center not to far from the Tillamook Cheese Factory...the "Latimer Quilt and Textile Center".

This the the second time in a year, along with my wife, that I have visited this cool quilt establishment. Basically, I think it is a learning place but, it is also a museum, gallery of sorts to check out their quilt collection and, a place to purchase quilting and knitting supplies.

There are displays of contemporary quilts along with vintage ones. If you are into "quilting mystery books", Arlene Sachitano author of many a quilting mystery books like: "Quilt By Association" is in the third photo here in the white sweatshirt along with some very nice/young ladies who posed for me. She autographed one of her books for us...what a treat!
