LA GRANGE - The city of La Grange will soon welcome visitors to Texas Quilt Museum.

The museum is the culmination of a lifelong dream of fifth-generation Texas quilters and cousins Karey Bresenhan and Nancy O'Bryant Puentes, also the president and executive vice president, respectively, of Quilts, Inc., producers of trade and consumer quilt shows around the country.

The grand opening of the museum, 140 W. Colorado St. in La Grange, will be at 1 p.m. Nov. 13. Admission will be free all day.

Featuring 10,000 square feet of exhibition space and including a museum store, and the Pearce Memorial Library and Material Cultures Center, the museum was named for the pair's grandmother. The museum also contains workspace for exhibition preparation.

The Texas Quilt Museum is housed in two buildings that date to the 1890's in the heart of La Grange's downtown historic district. The side of the building will feature a specially commissioned mural, Quilt . History in the Making, that will overlook a planned period garden called "Grandmother's Flower Garden" after the well-known traditional quilt pattern.
