Quilt Block Trail update

We have the block at the Johnsonville State Historic Park Welcome Center up. It is beautiful.
Enochs Grist Mill has 7 blocks up and more coming. Patricia Davis of Enochs Mill will paint your block for you. Price depends on size. C&L Farms of Houston County will paint a block for you also.

First Bank of Waverly, McEwen City Hall, Waverly City Hall, New Johnsonville Senior Citizens Center are each doing a block. we have 3 private citizens doing one. Humphreys County Farmers
Co Op has one up already.

If you would like to have a block on your business, barn, garage or outhouse, or for more information, contact Shirley at 931-296-9126 or 931-264-2351 or send an email to humphreyscountyartscouncil@gmail.com.

This is a great opportunity for your business to advertise one time for only $150.00 for a 4x4 block. There are a lot of people who follow these Quilt Trails, especially this being the 150th Anniversary of the  Battle of Johnsonville.

We will get a brochure printed when we have several blocks up and ready to view. This is a great way to get tourists into your business. It is a wonderful way to honor or remember a loved one. If you don't have a place to hang a block and would like to purchase one, we will find a prominent home for it.

We have our Quilt Trail on Facebook. We are just getting started so keep checking back. We will have information on the Quilt Blocks and how you can get one on your barn, outbuilding or business.
The address is www.facebook.com/3riversquilttrail

This is the first Quilt Block we have put up so far. It is on the Co-Op store front on Hwy. 13 South at Blue Creek Road. There are some already up at Enoch's Grist Mill that have been there for several years. More will go up this spring and summer.
We are in the beginning, of creating the Three Rivers Quilt Block Trail in Humphreys County. If you are interested in doing a block or you have a barn or building that is visible from the road where one could be hung, let us know.
This one was done by John Miano.

Humphreys County Quilt Trail

We are about to get started on the Quilt Trail for Humphreys County.
 It will start with 4 that are underway and who knows how many we will have.

These are 4x4 boards that have a quilt pattern painted on them and then are hung on barns, buildings or posts for people driving by to see.  We have a donations to furnish a limited amount of boards and paint. If you would like to paint one and hang it on your property, we will have a form in the Shopper's Guide with all of the information on how to qualify to participate. There will be guidelines.

We will have at least one at  'Art on the Square" so you can see what we are doing. We may even have one that you can help paint. So come to the Court Square on Saturday, June 1st from 7:30am-12:30 pm and draw with chalk and paint a quilt. Fun for all ages.
