It seems like it's been ages since I lasted posted. The world's first Trail Rug has been installed and unveiled. The unveiling was an emotional event, something I will remember for many years. One of the charms of the PA Quilt (And Rug) Trails is its flexibility in being guided by the community not visa versa. To me, it is one of its most appealing attributes.

Currently two quilt squares are being worked on, both sponosored by the Juniata Valley Quilter's Guild. Thanks to the groups generousity, both Mifflin and Juniata counties will be the homes of two new pieces.

In the works is a quilt square honoring those men and women who have served our country. We are looking for a sponsor and/or location. The pattern   will be a symbolic piece honoring our military who so generously give their time and sometimes their lives to keep us safe at home.
