The state of the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails

September is the end of the fiscal year for Community Partnerships RC&D. This is also a great time of reflection-what has been done the past year, what expectations are there for the year to come.

The PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails is now a bit more than a year old with the upcoming year already looking to surpass what we had hoped for. Although all of the new squares can't officially be named, in the works are four new squares, including PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails Headquarters (23 North Main Street, Lewistown), Mont Alto Historical Society (Mont Alto), as well as two unnamed squares in Juniata and Union counties. We yet to find a sponsor for the Military Square, which will honor service men and women, though hopes are high to get this special square underway soon.

As PA Quilt (and Rug)Trails grows, so do plans of expansion. In the future, hopefully, there will be phone accessed messages for each square, tours and rallies, a beautifully photographed "coffee table" book and brochures with more details including maps, back stories and site information.

It is a thrill and an honor to be part of something at its inception. Community Partnerships RC&D, in the true sense of partnerships set out to initiate a community partnership by administrating a quilt trail and the community has embraced this project with open arms and hearts.
