February 8, 2011

For most of these posts I have been focusing on the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails. It's an exciting project for Community Partnerships RC&D. Fortunately for us there were many trails before us and from those trails we owe much gratitude. We have learned from our fore-quilt trailers and put much of this knowledge to use in designing and implementing the Pa Quilt (and Rug)Trails.

One Trail is the Clinton County Bicentennial Barn Quit Trail in northeast Ohio. In conjunction with the 2010 county centennial celebration, 54 quilt squares were created and installed throughout the county. Each quilt square is unique to its environment and speaks about the property and property owners, community struggles and joys. One such example is Bob and Jacque Kirk's Federal-style farmhouse which boasts the Star and Cross pattern signifying the Kirk family's strong faith in Jesus Christ and his teachings.
