Our first stop was for lunch at a restaurant called Seeds. I got a kick out of their menu. They call their salads weeds. So I ordered a delicious serving of Seed's weeds and it was fantastic.
Our next stop was to visit the La Conner Quilt and Textile Museum. When we arrived, we discovered that the museum was closed while they prepared for a new show that was to open the next day. The quilt museum director must have seen my sad face peering through the windows and took pity on us. She invited us in and, for a small donation, we had the museum to ourselves. It was the best thing ever! Quilters are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.
One of the new exhibits features a quilter named Sue Spargo. I am unabashedly in love! Here are images of a few of my favorites that are on display through March 23rd.
The detail in her handwork is amazing. When I grow up, I hope to be just like her.
So get yourself up to La Conner if you have a chance. The area is very popular during tulip season in April but don't wait until then. The town is full of interesting little shops and there are several gorgeous Victorian era houses and churches to see along the drive. Bring your camera and have fun.
Thanks for stopping by.
