HAMMOND -- The Hammond Barn Trail Quilt Committee says they are near their goal of 25 barn quilts and are planning on displaying them in August.
“Barn quilts are often created to reflect family history or certain events, and sometimes they are created just to enjoy the beauty of color and design,” committee chariwoman Lisa Sarfaty said. “Hammond is fortunate to have many beautiful barns, a vibrant and supportive museum, an active and busy quilt shop and many quilters who can appreciate the value of this project.”
The 22 barn quilts, ranging in size from two- to eight-feet-square, will link St. Lawrence County with the country-wide barn quilt trail that has over 7,000 quilts spread throughout 48 U.S. states and Canada. They have names such as names such as “Mariner’s Compass,” “Storm at Sea,” “Ohio Star,” “Made in the USA” and “First Settler.”
“It’s absolutely amazing how this initiative has attracted so much attention in the north county and beyond, and has resulted in overwhelming participation by the Hammond Community,” Sarfaty said.
