Laurie didn't need to convince me too hard to join her on a trip to quilty trip to New England.
Our first stop was the New England Quilt Museum.
The antique quilts displayed were beautiful!
I'll let the quilts speak for themselves!
I thought I took a photo of the tag, but I cannot find it in my photos now. This quilt is older than Oregon! hahaha
Extraordinary chintz!
And I think the Piony was my favorite. For all the Humble Quilts kind of reasons.

Laura Lane works part time at the museum, so we got to spend a little time together and get her first hand knowledge of the quilts. We've "known" each other online for several years so it was fabulous to finally meet in person!
You can see we are in front of Barb Veddar's Lincoln quilt. More on Wednesday!
It has been a long 2 years+ since I've traveled like this. My heart is full!
Oregon is new compared to New England.
The architecture, the brick and cobblestone- be still my heart!
