Innovation/ Restoration Quilt Challenge

 .
The Challenge Quilts are being offered on eBay. Please see below for details.
  
The Museum is raising funds for repair and restoration of the historic 1891 Gaches Mansion, home of the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum. With help from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and hundreds of museum supporters, we have raised over $200,000 to date!

Fifteen talented quilt/fiber artists agreed to participate in the Museum’s Capital Campaign “Innovation/ Restoration” Quilt Challenge, and the stunning results are the works of art you see here. 100% of the funds raised through sale of these pieces will benefit the restoration.

All the remaining quilts are being offered on eBay, at the Museum’s eBay page.  The quilts may be purchased through the Museum Store and are currently on display at the Museum.

We thank the following artists for taking part in the Innovation/Restoration Challenge:  Thom Atkins, Jo Baner, Teri Bever, Opal Cocke & Amy Cowan, Karin Franzen, Anne Gillihan, Sonia Grasvik, Geoff Hamada, Louise Harris, Trisha Hassler, Luke Haynes, Marjorie Horton, Vivian Kapusta, Helen Remick, and Lorraine Torrence.
