A pair of additions were added to the Greater Napanee Area Barn Quilt Trail recently. Pat Dubyk completed both designs-a maple leaf installed at the Napanee Branch of the Lennox and Addington Library as well as a mariner's compass atop the entrance to Morningstar Mission. Originating from the Pennsylvania Dutch in the 1820s, barn quilts are wooden paintings featuring hex symbols that were first displayed on barns. Each colour has a special significance.
There are now over 30 barn quilts displayed throughout the region and visitors are encouraged to take a drive to see them all. For a complete list, visit www.gnabarnquilttrails.ca. Photo by Adam Prudhomme.
