Mercer
County is getting on the band wagon with many other counties throughout
the nation in encouraging farmers to participate in a barn quilt
project.
If
the term "barn quilt" hasn't made it to your vocabulary
yet, it soon will, because an effort is underway here to get enough
quilt blocks mounted on barns to establish a barn quilt trail in
Mercer County, similar to ones in other Kentucky counties and several
other states.

THE
HARRODSBURG HERALD/Debbie Jenkins Cook Travis Long, in a Bluegrass
Energy truck bucket, and one of his co- workers, Jeff Moberly,
on a ladder, hung two barn quilts on a barn on Warwick Road last
Wednesday at the home of Jim and Anita Dunn. Above, they worked
securing "The Hunt" quilt block to the barn with 20
screws. Later, they placed a narrow white frame around the block
and installed a second block on the other side of the barn door.
