TURKEY TRACKS barn quilt in California. Happy Thanksgiving from the Vicksburg Quilt Trail of Michigan.

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a Turkey Tracks barn quilt! This one is in Lake County, California on a beautifully restored barn. I hope you all are making tracks to spend time with loved ones this Thanksgiving or have someone special on their way to you!

OHIO STAR quilt pattern in Ohio painted with OSU scarlet & grey! Actually painted on the barn boards so I'm guessing it didn't last very long.

Feeling like fall today! I always think back to one of my favorite barn quilt photos, from Monroe County, Ohio. This was painted back in 2003! To find out more about barn quilts, you can visit www.barnquiltinfo.com

Rob & Amy Loniewsky moved their young family to 345 W Ave. & wanted to connect to their new community. So they painted a "bonus" quilt which you can see just to the east of States Golf Course. FREEDOM'S CROSS looks like a cross since it's set on point, and the red-white-blue represent Rob's military work with the Air Force.

Al Roker said the fall colors are coming later this year! So you have time to grab or print a red Quilt Trail map & plan to tour the Vicksburg countryside on a pretty afternoon.

The red signs are up for Fall, the ones with numbers are on the map that provides history of the location. But there are many "bonus" quilts that get recognition too, the Oswalt family has hung LIVING LEGACY at 10144 East XY Ave.!

Has anyone seen a "bonus" quilt within the Vicksburg School District? We need to make them a red sign for autumn visitors, it won't be numbered but simply named so that they get some recognition. Let me know or call 269-329-0481
