Work has begun on PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails newest square, one of two squares sponsored by the Juniata Valley Quilters' Guild. The design chosen by the group is the Carpenter's Wheel design, appropriate for its placement on the Heirloom Cabintry barn in Mifflintown. This beautiful patch is to be painted in brick red, steel blue and creme by the Skills of Central Pennsylvania group under the tutelage of Kay Weimer.
According to Owen Sound's Black History website (http://www.osblackhistory.com/quiltcodes.php ) the Carpenter's Wheel was one of many quilts used to pass information assisting black men, women and children as they fled slavery.
PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails is proud to add this outstanding pattern to our growing quilt and rug trail
