Happy Happy Birthday to you, even a little belated the wish is the same! What a wonderful way to spend a day with your birthday twin.

I had a blanket there for about 6 months.... well, not one of mine, but one I found going through my mother's things after she died. A small baby embroideried with sunbonnet sues. Mama's name: Louisa Ann Conner. Her Grandmother's name, Louisa Ann Conner. I actually threw it into the "dump" pile, thinking it was a rag, but felt something in it. Another thrill, it was a home-made doll, the kind Mama made us girls during the war. Absolutely beautiful! But, apparently it was made right before the war was over and she put it aside and got us dolls from Montgonery Ward catalog (our commercial source). I loved my homemade dolls, each one absolutely different, and each with a wardrobe of several outfits. La Conner is a great place to spend a day, and if you wander about the area you'll find Native American artist too, across from La Conner. [Sorry about all this... but it's my only claim to fame!) :>) She was an upstanding, very moral woman.

I used to live just across the border there, near Abbotsford. I'll be in the area again near Christmas. Maybe I should check it out!

I have heard about LaConner. I will have to get there sometime. We have friends in Seattle. I guess we'll have to visit again. :)

That is a great museum and I highly recommend it and the town to anyone in the area or visiting the part of WA. Happy Birthday and glad you had such a fun day!

I haven't been to LaConner since I was a kid. Used to go smelt jigging on the river with a friend and her parents. Would love to go up to visit the quilt museum. Sounds like it hasn't changed much since I was a kid.

I grew up in WA state. When I left for Oregon we were living near Civic Field in Bellingham. We also lived on Alabama Street. It was fun being a teenager in that town.
