Do you need a road trip to shake out the blahs? How about a road trip to the Tualatin Valley Quilt Barn Trail? This was a project of Westside Quilters.
“Tour the trail of quilt blocks through rural areas of Oregon’s Tualatin Valley and see dozens of lovely old barns, historic granges, wineries and more. This self-guided tour celebrates both agricultural and quilting heritage, and each block illustrates the connection each family has to the art of quilting. Experience it today!”
And while you are at it, stop by some of the farms offering fresh produce, honey, lavender and berries.
