NEW Barn Quilts of Carver County
Made for barns, not beds, barn quilts are quilt patterns drawn to scale and
painted on wooden panels that are hung on the exterior walls of historic
barns or other agricultural buildings. These beautiful pieces of artwork
highlight the art of quilting while showcasing Carver County’s historic
agricultural icons. This tour encompasses 10 farms and 18 barn quilts. Take
the opportunity to step off the bus to not only view the quilt blocks but also
surrounding gardens. Some of the farms also feature a market or antique
shop. Learn why each family chose their particular quilt block as well as
the history of the barn, the farm and the area. You will receive a full color
brochure of all of Carver County’s 25 barn quilts. A gourmet box lunch will
be served in the restored barn at Deardorff Orchards & Parley Lake Winery.
Please indicate your choice of turkey or ham sandwich and specify white,
wheat or rye bread. All condiments will be served separately. There will be
time to browse the gift shop and view the wine tasting room. Please arrive
at Gladstone by 8:15 am. The tour will leave promptly at 8:30 am and will
return to the same location at approximately 3:00 pm. There are no refunds
after June 1. A $2-3 gratuity per person is recommended and may be paid
directly to the driver following the tour. Janet Fahey
