Barn Quilt Trail and Other Events
The Barn Quilt Trail in Lake County (lakecountyquilttrail.com) and Plumas County (plumascounty.org) brings new meaning to quilts, showcasing them as barn art. Barn quilts actually can be seen in various locations throughout the U.S.!
Though the majority of people who make quilts are women, throughout time quilts have been treasured gifts enjoyed by men, as well. Handed down as heirloom treasures telling the story of families, histories and events, these custom-made bed covers and blankets are personalized creations that you’ll find in museums. Quilts offer contextual meaning and significance related to those who made them, owned them and traveled with their quilts. Quilts tell the story of the Civil War, the California Gold Rush and many other important events in history. Here are some quilt conventions and events!
