KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The 80th quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail is “Carl’s Compass.”
It has been installed on Karlene and John Ellis’ outbuilding located near their gate on 2090 Bell Hill Road in Kelseyville.
“Carl’s Compass,” which is a rendition of a traditional quilt block called mariner’s compass, is in honor of Karlene’s dad, Carl Padgett, symbolizing his 25 years of service in the US Coast Guard.
Karlene and John Ellis received the property in 2002 from her father.
Carl Padgett’s love for farming and fishing in Lake County was lived every day on his 9.9 acres of walnuts.
He purchased the property in the early 1970s. A new home was built in 2011 and original buildings from the 1930s are being restored.
The Lake County Quilt Trail is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride.
The 4-foot by 4-foot quilt block was drawn and painted by the Lake County Quilt Trail team.
The Lake County Quilt Trail is a group of dedicated volunteer quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers, carpenters and a videographer.
