Quilt Walk 2011

Quilt Walk in La Conner Shops

We would like to thank the members of the Tri-City Quilter’s Guild for participating in our recently ended Quilt Walk.

This Year’s Quilt Walk included an impressive 52 participating La Conner businesses, which had 80 quilts on display. To list a list of the participating shops, download a copy of pdf 2011 Quilt Walk Map  We would like to thank the shop owners for donated funds and/or merchandise to our 2011 Quilt Festival and their support of the Museum is greatly appreciated!

One of the quilts that was on display, Flame Birds of the Big Cypress by Barbara Minton (at left), was a big hit at the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum.

The group was founded in 1982 and has over 400 members.
