2 The South Marysburgh Mirror Barn Quilt Trails By Pat Dubyk The Prince Edward County Our trail was started in 2014, with a grant from the Ontario Barn Quilt Trails (via the Trillium Founda(cid:415)on), and an generous sponsor for the trail has been Picton Home Hardware. Their support is greatly appreciated.Our Phase One plan was to install 30, 8' x 8' foot panels along the Hwy. 33 corridor from Picton to Wellington. Our first panels were designed and painted by school children at Pinecrest and CML Snider schools. The communi(cid:415)es adopted 8 panels as well as each school crea(cid:415)ng one for themselves. Then the project just took off; by September 2015 we installed our 100th barn quilt at Hagerman Farms. Just today I decided to do a count to update the number. In the total I added in all the quilts that personal painters have created themselves….that number is 180….and that is not the end of it. I am sure there are many more painters out there that we don't know about and I do hope they will all contact me and we can really know what the true number of barn quilts on display in Prince Edward County is. Now, I need to tell you and show you what is happening in your area. In no par(cid:415)cular order you will see a "Double Aster" design on the corner of Old Milford Road and Crowes Rd., hosted by Nancy Fleck; on Bond Road, host Brian Johnson has a beau(cid:415)ful design on his barn; Peter Hymus and Becki Mar(cid:415)n and their beau(cid:415)ful restored red barn, at 2399 County Road 10, south of Milford, displays an "En Pointe Star" (this barn quilt is featured on our most recent full colour brochure); Val and Al MacDonald at 57 County Road 18 in Cherry Valley display a beau(cid:415)ful green , white and red maple leaf quilt; next door, Val's mom displays a red and white "Love Quilt" at 73 County Road 18. Further down County Road 18 at number 591 is a stunning "Dutchman's Puzzle" installed between two trees. Down at the Mariners Museum is "Tall Ship" painted with the help of the 2015 Day Camp children; Blizz Max Gallery in South Bay has a stunning design displayed.
