LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 61st quilt block to be installed on the Lake County Quilt Trail is located on Lakeport Tire and Auto Service at 1901 S. Main St.
“Patriotic Colors” was sponsored by Toni and Bob Funderburg and family in memory of Toni’s sister, Susan Caravaca who grew up in Lake County.
Caravaca was a gifted quilter. She left her family and friends many quilted treasures that she lovingly handcrafted.
The Funderburgs also wanted to pay tribute to all veterans and their families for the sacrifices they have made for our country by posting the quilt block on the north side of Lakeport Tire and Auto Service, which was built in 1966 and has been in the family since 1972.
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.
