Lake County >> The 69th quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail (LCQT), entitled “Sunflower,” has been installed on the north side of Carol and Bob Prather’s barn at 2345 Park Drive in Lakeport in route to the County Park. It can be viewed from Elizabeth Drive, which is a left turn off of St. Francis Drive in Corinthian Bay.
The Prather barn was designed and built in 1999 by Bob Prather with help from various family members. It was built from lumber that Prather milled from trees harvested off of his property in Loch Lomond.
Carol Prather is an avid, life-long quilter who has followed the LCQT project from the beginning. She was one of the quilters involved in making the last opportunity quilt, which benefited Tango Mike. In her lifetime, Prather has made many very beautiful quilts, large and small. This happy Sunflower was chosen by Prather because she loves sunflowers.
The LCQT is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride. The 8×8’ quilt block was drawn and painted by the LCQT team: a group of dedicated quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers, carpenters and a videographer.
