Clyde Quilt Trails

The Town of Clyde and Haywood County Arts Council is pleased to announce the Quilt Trails Project in our Town.  Many of you may have already noticed the new addition to three of our buildings here in town.  These additions are the quilt blocks.   They have been added to the Shook-Smathers House; Lil’s; and Haywood Institute. 

The Quilt Trail concept is based on similar projects in Ashe, Avery, Madison, Mitchell, Watauga, and Yancey counties her in North Carolina, where quilt squares are painted on wood and installed on barns, public buildings, shops, and other appropriate buildings around the community.  The heritage-based project aims to help communities in Haywood County find and tell their stories.  If you would like to view the stories of the three new quilt blocks in Clyde, you can view them here or you may pick up a hard copy at the Clyde Town Hall.

If you would like a quilt block installed on your barn or building, or need more information about the project, please contact Kay Miller at the Haywood County Arts Council at 828-452-0593 or email her at info@haywoodarts.org.
