LA CONNER IN BLOOM
The 2024 Challenge: Roots and Threads: A Garden in Transition
This challenge is based on a quote from an unknown source: “Spring: a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.” We invite you to explore change as you create a garden-related piece. Perhaps explore the transition from seed to root to bud. Or maybe consider how a bud opens to a bloom or even how a plant or tree changes in the fall to prepare for winter. There are many ways in which to explore this theme!
We are accepting any type of fiber art piece – quilted, knit, woven, etc. All entries will be displayed anonymously – and voted on for favorite! – in the Landmarks Gallery during the month of April. The work may be donated to the Museum to help us raise funds or returned to you after close of exhibit. Exhibit Dates: March 27 – April 28, 2024 |

2023 was an exciting year for the Museum! We hired a wonderful new Curator, Brian Nigus, and he is bringing a refreshing perspective to our exhibition program. The International Quilt & Fiber Arts Festival in Everett had more entries and visitors than ever before! These are just two of the many other wonderful activities and events from the past year. Your continuing support helped make all this possible - thank you! There is a lot more to come in 2024 and we know you’ll want to be a part of it.
As this year comes to a close, please include the Museum in your year-end giving.
