Follow The Kentucky Quilt Trail

The National Quilt Trail began in Adams County Ohio in 2001 when Donna Sue Groves kept a promise to her mother, master quilter Nina Maxine Groves, to paint a quilt on her barn.

That simple gesture of love has evolved into a state-wide effort to grace barns across America with the quilts of our heritage. Today's trail stretches from Iowa to North Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and back to Ohio with many counties joining each year.

The pictures are from barns along St. Rd. 62 through Scott, Bourbon, and Harrison Counties Kentucky. It is a beautiful drive through the country side from Georgetown to Cythiana Kentucky. These barns are located right along side the highway. Along with the horse farms and the foilage this Quilt Trail makes for a beautiful Sunday drive.

Sorry to BORROW your tag line I was experimenting to see if it would come up on a goggle search. I won't use it again. I'm very creative and can come up with my own. Sorry !!

hey, sorry I missed this one, little out of my sandbox but I would have love your pictures. we haven't met yet but hopefully will get to cross paths a bit here in the rain. I started a new group to show off the creative side of our selves. this would have been a great post to add there (If you want to edit and sumit to our group that would be fine with me.) I had been thinking of doing this for awhile but not gotten around to it. we get to post to five groups so add this as one when you are doing community or personal quilt/craft/etc... type stuff. thanks be good cheryl
