‘Sunburst and Saw Blades’ quilt block installed in Kelseyville
KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The recently installed “Sunburst and Saw Blades” is the newest quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail.
This uniquely designed and framed 2-foot by 6-foot quilt block is located at the Saw Shop Gallery Bistro, located at 3825 Main St. in Kelseyville, where it joins many other quilt blocks on Main Street.
This building was originally a private home to Rees and Margaret White, according to granddaughter, Margie (Norton) Mitten.
When Grandmother Margaret passed, it then belonged to Rees and wife, Florence. When Rees passed, Florence sold the private home.
This building was then used as an actual saw shop hardware store until Marie Beery purchased it for an art gallery in 1999.
Beery remodeled it to be a restaurant, which has been the Saw Shop Gallery Bistro, a favorite of locals and visitors, since 2001.
The 2-foot by 6-foot quilt block was drawn and painted by the Lake County Quilt Trail team.
The Lake County Quilt Trail is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride. It’s composed of a group of dedicated volunteer quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers,
carpenters and a videographer.
