JOE TENNIS
mains a thread in this tale of trails:
It is the home state of Donna Sue
Groves, who grew up in Charleston,
but who would actually make history by creating the country's first
barn quilt square tour-in Adams
County, Ohio-in 2001.
Today, at 68, Groves remains
excited to sew, er, sow more ideas
about quilt trails for all who call.
Less than 20 years ago, Groves
painted a quilt square on a barn-
just to liven up the landscape. "And
I had an idea that if we painted a
bunch of them on various barns
around the county and developed
a driving trail, it would encourage
tourists to come," Groves says.
Others followed suit. "And I was
just astounded to know that there
are quilt trails in 40 states and three
provinces in Canada," Groves says.
"It is mindboggling."
Quilt squares can be found at Ellijay, Georgia, as well as McCaysville,
just north of Blue Ridge. Also in
