Stay Warm This Winter at the Texas Quilt Museum

La Grange became the unoffi-
cial quilting capital of Texas on Nov.
13, 2011, as the Texas Quilt Museum
opened in downtown La Grange.
Ever since, a steady stream of tour
buses has been descending upon the
two-building complex that also includes
a massive 75-foot mural and turn-of-the-
century garden at 140 W. Colorado St.
“These are quilts like you’ve never seen
before,” said Karey Bresenhan, co-founder
of the museum, who also founded the
Houston International Quilt Festival
The museum was the idea Bresenhan and
her cousin Nancy O’Bryant Puentes, who
together have written a trilogy of books on
Texas Quilts. The choice to bring the museum
to La Grange was an easy one, said Bresenhan.
“La Grange is right in the middle of
Austin, Houston and San Antonio. It’s a
crossroads to all these areas,” Bresenhan
said prior to the museum opening.
