"Quilts by the Sea" | Bed Turning with Latimer Quilt & Textile Center

Please enjoy this bed turning from the annual quilt show by Oregon Coastal Quilters Guild. Latimer Quilt & Textile Center was honored to come present a bed turning for the 2025 quilt show, "Quilts by the Sea", in Newport, OR.

Carol Weber, Linda Machuta & La Rayne Woodward did an amazing job presenting these quilts and we are so joyed to share this video with the public.

A big thank you to, Jean Amundson and Linda Kirk Fox (videography) for filming and getting us a copy to show everyone what we do.

The La Rayne Woodward Quilt Repository

Built in 1996, the repository comes with conservatorial lighting, hermetic temperature control and museum space-saving storage fittings. Everything about its design is calculated to minimize the degradation of textiles. Collections are stored in acid free boxes. The repository has its own computer system and the Past Perfect data base program is used to catalogue Latimer collections.
 
The Repository is not publicly accessible but can be visited by appointment, subject to the availability of its volunteer staff. For inquires—please give us a call or email us at: 503-842-8622; latimer2105@gmail.com

The Latimer Center’s collection includes quilts from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, quilt blocks, quilt templates and fabric samples. There are also clothing, hand- woven coverlets, looms, spinning wheels and other quilting and weaving textile tools and implements.
