Current Gallery Exhibit

September / October 2025
Button Quilts | Katie Paaso
Open House: September 7th, 2025 (Sunday)
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Our current exhibit is a collection of button quilts from Katie Paaso from Seaside. She described her button collection for us: "In 2000 I inherited my Aunt Helen’s antique button collection. The buttons were sewn into fabric books and had been in storage for many years. Many of the buttons had started to deteriorate and rust. I immediately cut the buttons out of the book pages and put them in piles by kind: glass, pearl, Czech glass, metal, carved celluloid, etc. I  really wasn’t interested in antique buttons before that. They all looked like little works of art. I didn’t want to put them in a jar or box and never see them again, so, since I am a quilter, I married the button collection with my quilting and began to make wall hanging button quilts.

Welcome

We're glad you found us and look forward to your visit! Currently we are working on many things around here. Ranging from physically to a lot of background changes!

We have added the newsletter to the main page (above) for anyone who has not received it. We do apologize if you wrote your email down on our "visitor registration". We do our best to read everyone's handwriting, but we are also human and unfortunately make errors.

Square - Processing & Inventory
We recently changed our POS (Point of Sale) system. Everyday we are processing items that our consignors have with us. For those who do not know - Members of Latimer make and sell items here on consignment. This goes to help keep Latimer open and gives back to the members as well. This has been a slow process and we are working each day at it.

Printer
As of 1/22/2025 we now have a Rioch printer/copier. We can now print the newsletter in house and hoping to make scanning documents much easier. One aspect we plan on developing is to have more education, past newsletters, patterns and historical documents available on the website. While this is a long-term goal; we hope to implement this sooner than later.

Email
Our primary email is - latimer2105@gmail.com

Please know we do NOT use this (latimertextile@centurylink.net) email address as our primary. It shows up from time to time and we are working on removing it from everything.

Please reach out via the Gmail address and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
