GALLIA COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- History, heritage and heirlooms. Those are what quilts often represent as families share and hand them down.
The concept is the same with the Quilt Barn Trail -- the latest tour to hit Gallia County. It's allowing families to share their family designs and personal stories with the world.
It's a slice of Americana -- rolling hills along a countryside with a quaint gathering featuring singing and celebrating family history. It's the dedication of the fourth quilt square along Gallia County's new Quilt Barn Trail.
This square, titled Century of Progress, is posted on a barn that belongs to Vic and Mary Niday. It is an appropriate choice, since this working farm is more than a century old and has remained in the same family.
The Niday home is nearly a century old, too, holding all of the rich history to prove it. Mary designed the quilt, including the now painted square, more than 30 years ago. Carrie Nipora is the artist who took Mary’s design and painstakingly painted it on their barn.
Mary Niday designed the quilt more than 30 year ago. This is the fourth quilt square to be dedicated.
The Gallia County Quilt Barn Trail will eventually include 15 different locations.
