My first quilt museum visit!
Guess where I was this past weekend? On Friday I was in Lincoln, Nebraska on my first quilt museum tour. I went behind the scenes at the International Quilt study Center & Museum. It was absolutely amazing and I could have easily spent days just looking at the quilts they have in storage. Oh how I wanted to open each box!
The exhibit on display was called “Log Cabin’s and Kit Quilts”. This was my favorite Log Cabin ever!
From Lincoln I drove to Gretna, Nebraska for a fun retreat at the Minglewood Lodge! The Minglewood Lodge is owned by Debbie Roberts who also owns The Quilted Moose quilt shop. It’s the perfect combination for quilters! Just think, you can sew all weekend and when you need a break you just drive a few miles to Debbie’s wonderful store. It just doesn’t get any better than that. Here’s some good news if you happen to be one of those people still trying to locate some Lily & Will fabric. Debbie actually has some left!
Hope you all had a good weekend too!
Hugs,
Anne

I love what you did with your quilt! I too am in love with the wool applique over the quilt base. I would definitely pick the fat quarter bundle. It offers the greatest amount of stash flexibility!

What a wonderful experience…thanks for sharing! That whole cloth quilt is truly amazing, especially knowing it was all done by hand (and often in low light). The log cabin has reminded me to get out my box of 1/2″ (finished) logs and work on mine.
Speaking of Lily and Will, I found a couple of FQs at a shop in a remote area I went to last week!
