The Pelican State
Welcome to Louisiana!
Known for Cajun food, The Big Easy and a few crazy bearded guys, Louisiana is unlike any other place in the U.S. It also happens to be the place where I was born.
Even though none of my clan live there anymore, I still try to get back as often as I can for the art, the culture and the food! Oh my. There is nothing quite like a chickory Cafe au Lait and a piping hot beignet fresh out of the oven while taking in the salty air and smooth jazz out in the french corner.
Or, a calm stroll on a pirogues up the lazy bayou. Watch out for them snapping turtles! They may look cute and cuddly but they’ll take your finger off faster than a hot knife through butter.
With it’s incredible cast of characters, huge pots of crawfish, barrels of love, art, history, and just enough Voodoo to make things interesting, Louisiana is a must stop on your Quilty travels!
SOME POINTS OF INTEREST NOT TO BE MISSED:
- Louisiana State Museum – multiple locations and fun exhibits!
- Louisiana Quilt Trail – Fabulous Barn Quilt Trail
- New Orleans Museum of Art
- Chauvin Sculpture Garden in Chauvin. Unique Gem!
GET READY TO SHOP HOP!
There are several ways (and excuses) to visit these awesome quilt shops. Many of them participate in the Row by Row Experience, now known as the Quilters Trek. You can learn more, and plan your trip by visiting their website HERE.
Also, many Louisiana Quilt Shops participate in organized annual Shop Hops:
