You may have seen the small wooden blocks that are replicas of historic buildings from Cat’s Meow.
We had them make a replica of our Jessamine County barn-quilt-quilt that is now on display in the Jessamine County Public Library.
We had originally planned to sell them to raise money for one of our charities at our quilt show in 2020… Since that didn’t happen and 2021 is currently on hold as well, they are available for sale for $25 from any Jessamine Piece Quilters guild member for $25.
Size is 5 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ x 3/4″

Or you can download a brochure here (Print with color, duplex, flip on short edge; fold in half with title collage on front and barn quilt in the center).
