The Barn Quilt is a “drive-by” viewing about 1/4 mile south of the cache on the east side of Town Hall road. The owner has requested that cachers DO NOT stop in the yard to look at the quilt, but you are able to stop on the quiet country road to get a good look.
The Log Cabin pattern was chosen in memory of Deb Vandertie’s grandmother who used to make quilts using the log cabin pattern. It is also appropriately placed on a log building.
This cache will bring you to a viewing location for one of the Barn Quilts of Door County. The quilt is one of 45 placed in Door County between 2010-2012 as a joint project of the UW-Extension, 4-H members and leaders, FFA members and alumni, local quilt guild members and other volunteers.
The goals of the Door County Barn Quilt Project are:
• Promote the agricultural heritage of Door Co.
• Provide education about the art and history of quilting
• Highlight the architecture and historical significance of barns throughout Door Co.
• Encourage economic development by promoting rural tourism
• Build an adult-youth partnership through the implementation of the project
More information on the project can be seen at http://barnquiltsofdoorcounty.com
Please tread lightly as you search out the caches. CITO and BYOP. Feel free to post pictures of the barn quilts, but please don’t give away the cache location or container.
Happy Caching!
