In
Adams County, 20th Century ‘Mail Pouch’ ads adorning Ohio barns are
being snuffed out by a 21st Century phenomenon – Barn Quilt Squares.
The painted Barn Quilt Squares began when Donna Sue Groves wanted to create something to honor her mother’s passion, quilting, and did so with a large painting on the side of their barn. This sparked a movement that has swept Adams County. Adding to the serenity and charm of a lazy rural drive amidst the foothills of Appalachia, the “clothesline” of quilts highlights the adventure with its colorful display of unique artistry dotting the countryside.
