Our Make A Difference Day project this year was the Gallia Co. Quilt Barn “Paint-On Days”, held on October 24, 2009.  Great fun and progress was made on 5 quilt patterns.

“PAINT-ON DAYS” TO CONTINUE THRU FEBRUARY

Starting January 23rd, any and all volunteers are welcome to participate on paint-on days at the FAC. The FAC staff will be running the “paint-on days” every day, 10:00am-6:00pmTues-Fri and & Sat 10:00am-3:00pm, until February 26th.

In addition, all three Gallia County High Schools have volunteered to paint one square each, leaving only 3 to finish.  Help make this County’s quilt trail on of the finest, and one that you can brag about helping to paint!  All patterns will be pre-drawn and colors labeled, in a paint-by-number system, for easy application. 

The quilt barn trail efforts are supported by funds through the Governor’s Office of Appalachia Community Investment Fund, matched by monetary support from the Gallia County Convention and Visitors’ Bureau and Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative.
