Lovely displays in historic building. Especially enjoyed exhibit of Australian designer's fabric paintings and the winners of international quilt shows. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect upon coming here since I'm a novice sewer and not a quilter, but I was happy to see an entire building dedicated to intricate quilts, a library full of resources, and even a wing dedicated to crazy quilts. The building is a fully restored one with nice wood floors and an impressive main wing. There are three galleries to look at with the crazy quilt one being my favorite. The docents are very nice and attentive and the atmosphere is very chill and quiet. All in all, we were there for maybe 30 minutes because you are allowed to take photos, just no flash. There's a small gift shop and parking was pretty easy too. You're even next to a quilting shop. read more

Loved it. The "docents" were very kind and attentive. It's a small place but a nice outing. I think it was $5 admission.

My wife wanted to go to the exhibit because she knew the quilter who designed and made the quilts and has since passed. It was a well done display. The artist was versatile with a broad range of themes. I didn't count, but they must have had 30 or so quilts on display. My wife considered the exhibit worth the trip from Houston to La Grange. I'm not that much of a quilt enthusiast but the quilts were nice. You aren't supposed to take pictures inside the museum, but I took one toward the entrance (assuming they didn't care) and another of the main area when the receptionist looked away accepting the fee from an arriving customer. read more

This place is magical! The shop they have has so many options for your own project or just to buy something that's already hand made! The quilts are really amazing, kudos to people that made these wonderful pieces of art. read more

Everything about the Texas Quilt Museum was amazingly beautiful- from the garden to the murals to the actual quilts. Though small, they have three exhibits filled with absolutely gorgeous quilts. I went when the entrance exhibit was themed Red and White quilts, the back was animal themed quilts by Annie Helmericks-Louder, and the side was Modern day quilting.(Thinking of ways to interpret the modern quilts was very fun, and a great way to exercise my mind!) All were wonderful, the patterns and designs were so intricate, it made me look at quilting a whole new way. The lady gave me a personal tour (!) and was extremely knowledgeable about quilting- I learned so many new things! Who knew someone could find such joy in quilting? Drive on down to La Grange, because this museum is totally worth seeing, even if you think you are not interested in quilts. Believe me- TX Quilt Museum will! ;) read more

The gardens here are beautiful. Being hot August summer in Texas the flowers are still beautiful. Lots of varieties. The sundial in the middle is a great focal point to the garden. The pergola in the back is a cool place to sit on a hot day to just relax and take it all in. Can't wait to come back in the spring to see all of the beautiful foliage. It's a great find in this little town of LaGrange. It's on the square of this cute little town. read more

Before my review, (I 'll be brief) I would have to admit, the idea of a museum dedicated to quilting seemed silly if not at the very least a waste of display space. I now would like to formally apologize to all the quilters (and fans) for my ignorance. I 'm sorry. In the rolling hills of Central Texas, La Grange, founded 1837, features an old town square, shopping (old town shopping) and a delicious new (to me) discovery... Czech kolaches. In a 10,000 sq. ft, 19th century restored building an array of quilting styles, sizes, textures and nationalities are housed and displayed from wall to wall and ceiling to floor. History and information is available in literature form or (if you are lucky) the curator will "show you around ", we were lucky. The variety and diversity would be impossible to describe and can only say, "it's a must see ". Time your visit right for the "fiddle (a smokin' Violin) fest "or just make time to visit the hill country . read more

If you like any kind of crafts, sewing or art of any kind you would appreciate the work that is put into these quilts. These quilts are truly a piece of work and craftsmanship. It was worth the drive into La Grange from Austin. read more

Enticing, well-presented, just some adjectives that describe this delightful, small museum located near the town square in LaGrange. Out front, there is free street parking. There is a small admission fee, but the museum is well-lighted, clean, spacious. It's located in an old building that's been refurbished. Each quilt has identifying information, and there are docents available during the week to answer any questions. There is a small store inside with items such as jewelry, little notebooks with quilted covers, etc. Walk around the side of the building. There is a wonderful mural and Grandmother's Flower Garden, which is parterre, lovely, with a sundial in the middle. Walk over to the square, and you'll find other stores, lunch spots. Well worth a drive from Austin, San Antonio, Houston. read more

The price just to look was $8 and only had about 30 quilts to look at and about 6 used ones for sale!
