KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The 74th quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail is “Dove in the Window.”
Its design is inspired by the collaboration and cooperation of two congregations – the United Methodist Church and Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County who share this place of worship at 3810 Main St., Kelseyville.
This design is a variation of a traditional quilt block called “friendship fan,” which appropriately represents the friendship of these two groups.
The dove represents peace, and the rainbow colors represent inclusiveness of both congregations.
The Kelseyville United Methodists have met on the location of First and Main since 1854. The current sanctuary is the third church structure on this site and was constructed in 1948.
The United Methodist Church, led by Pastor Voris Brumfield, meets at 9 a.m. on Sundays. The church's slogan is “Open Minds, Open Hearts, and Open Doors.”
The Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County, which is lay led and has visiting ministers and speakers, meets on Sunday at 11 a.m. Its slogan is “A religious home where all faiths are welcome, and spiritual growth is encouraged.”
These congregations collaborated to sponsor the 4-foot by 4-foot “Dove in the Window” quilt block.
They also work together on community projects such as the Kelseyville Food Pantry, along with the Presbyterian Church of Kelseyville.
Many thanks to Glenn Mueller and Peter Trucks for installing “Dove in the Window.”
The Lake County Quilt Trail is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride.
The 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.
