Clearlake >>The 77th quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail (LCQT) is “Burns Valley Tiger.” It has been installed on the Burns Valley School located at 3629 Pine St., Clearlake.
The tiger is an 8-by-8-foot quilt block, is sponsored by the Burns Valley Parent Teacher Organization.
Burns Valley School was built in 1934 and is in the Konocti Unified School District. The school has been educating the children of Clearlake for more than 80 years. The main building has a bell tower and bell, which would ring to call Lake County children to school. It has been said the bell could be heard across the lake. The bell is still rung on the first and last day of school every year. Burns Valley School is on one side of Austin Park with a view of Clear Lake. The school can also be seen from Lakeshore
Drive and Olympic Avenue.
The LCQT is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride. The block was drawn and painted by the LCQT team which is a group of dedicated volunteer
quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers, carpenters and a videographer.
