| Start & End Time: | 7-8 p.m. |
| Event Details: | More than 300 brilliant “quilt blocks,” called barn quilts, are on display on barns throughout Shawano County. The Shawano County barn quilt project was started by local writer/photographer Jim Leuenberger in 2010 after he had seen barn quilts in Iowa, Kentucky, Oregon and southern Wisconsin. So in June 2010, he proposed the idea to local 4-H clubs for them to paint the quilts as a possible club service project. Since then several clubs, barn owners, businesses and individuals have supported the project through sponsoring a quilt and/or having a quilt put on their barn.Mr. Leuenberger, coordinator of Barn Quilts of Shawano County, will be at the library Nov. 11 to talk about the project. |
