LAKEPORT, Calif. – Installation of the 41st quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail is located at 746 Park Way in Lakeport on Donna and Bob Garcia’s barn.  

This quilt block, called “Clay’s Choice,” was chosen by Donna to honor three of her relatives who are/were avid quilters.

The three special quilt makers are Donna’s mother, Juna May Love, who resided for 35 years in Lakeport before her passing.

The second special lady is Donna’s grandmother, Laura Belle Ozbirn, who lived in Salem, Ark.  

The third special person being honored is Donna’s sister, Kitty Holderman, who currently lives in Queen Creek, Ariz.

Donna thanks her loving family members for their beautiful quilts, their warmth and love which the quilts impart when she and other family members are snuggly wrapped in them.

Donna and Bob bought their property in 2003. They are transplants from Santa Clara County who chose to retire in Lake County after visiting here for more than 50 years.

The GPS location of “Clay’s Choice” is Latitude: 39.08, Longitude: -122.92.

The Lake County Quilt Trail is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride.

The 8-foot by 8-foot quilt block was drawn and painted by the LC Quilt Trail team, a group of dedicated quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers, carpenters and a videographer.
