Meet the Squares: The Heirloom Quilt Square

The Heirloom quilt square has now been installed and can be enjoyed in Mifflintown, PA. This quilt square has taken the longest time, from start to finish, of any square, yet the wait was well worth the time.

At least a year and a half ago, Community Partnerships RC&D was asked by the Juniata Valley Quilters Guild, to give a presentation to the group about the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails. A short while after the presentation, the guild contacted CPRC&D and generously offered to sponsor two pieces, one to be placed in Juniata County and the second in Mifflin County.

The Skills Group were kind enough to volunteer their time and talents to paint the design submitted by the Quilter's guild. After diligent priming, taping and painting for weeks of time, the piece was completed and transported by Kevin Morgan and Mike Lennartz of CPRC&D to Heirloom Cabinetry, where the piece could be touched-up and framed for installation.

The folks at Heirloom managed to hoist this incredibly heavy the piece feet off the ground, to its current home where it overlooks  beautiful valleys and hills of Mifflintown.

The Heirloom Piece, with its strong colors and design, compliments the  beautiful farm land and countryside where she/he will stay for many years to come. Take a lovely drive and come see. Heirloom Cabinetry is on Nelson Road, just a few miles off of the main route 322.
