LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 69th quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail is titled “Sunflower.”

It has been installed on the north side of Carol and Bob Prather’s barn at 2345 Park Drive, Lakeport, en route to Lakeside 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 Bob Prather milled from trees harvested off of his property in
Lock Lomond.

Carol Prather is an avid, lifelong quilter who has followed the Quilt Trail project from the beginning.

She was one of the quilters involved in making the last opportunity quilt which benefited Tango
Mike.

In her lifetime, Carol Prather has made many, many very beautiful quilts – large and small.

The happy sunflower quilt block theme was chosen by Carol Prather because she loves sunflowers. Perhaps there will be a field of sunflowers growing near the quilt block this summer.

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 Lake County Quilt Trail team, a group of dedicated quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers, carpenters, and a videographer.
