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!

Tillamook OR

From Lincoln City, on the Oregon Coast, my wife and I are on our way north to Tillamook...think cheese...think ice cream...think bunches of cows!

On the way to Tillamook, we stop in at Neskowin for lunch but, the place we want to eat at is closed. We then went further north to Pacific City and had pizza...real good pizza. I took one pouring down rain-in-your-face photo of the famous Haystack Rock (last shot here).

Pacific City is home of the famous "dory fleets" and some super great fishing in the Pacific Ocean and, the Nestucca Rivers...there are two: the Little and the Big Nestucca.

Finally, we are in Tillamook and the three pics of the river you see below are of the Wilson River... and, more good fishing.

This part of the river is next to a road in the country. I shot as I went along. One of the photos is of a "Quilt Barn"...fourth pic down. There are numerous such quilt barns in Tillamook. We will get into the quilting thing in a later post.

I converted all the photos here into HDR or High Dynamic Range Photography.

I put up some links at the end of the post on some books about Tillamook and Tillamook Cheese through Amazon.
