Tillamook, Oregon and exploring the charming quilt museum.
The centerpiece of the current exhibition is a quilt called Crown of Thorns made in 1883 by a 16 year old quilter - the quilting is so fine, about 12 stitches per inch. It is a vibrant beauty and perfectly preserved, must have been a showpiece quilt and hardly ever used.
I browsed through the textile files, looking at the bits and pieces of silks, brocades and cottons and thinking would love to work with these little gems.

| My favorite, tiny little 1 inch squares and such funky colors from fading over the decades. |
