Barns sought for quilt trail
A Stillaguamish Valley Barn Quilt Trail is in the works. It would feature wooden or metal quilt squares attached to barns to highlight the history of the area, celebrate quilting and draw tourists. More barns are needed. Owners from Concrete to Camano Island who would be willing to have a decorative quilt square placed on their barn, visible from any road, should contact Shawna Gould at shawnalgould@gmail.com.
