The quilts plastered around the buildings in Conconully aren't exactly what you'd picture a quilt to be.
When you visit the small Washington town of Conconully, you might notice unique wooden paintings outside several of the homes and small businesses. The locals call them quilts.
The quilts are taken from the Civil War era, but locals Janet and Howard Warner make them unique.
"We personalize them by adding silhouettes. And the silhouettes depict the area -- so we have mining on our quilts and we also have local wildlife," said Janet.
Janet and Howard have designed many quilts for people all around the town.
"Almost everywhere you go, you will find a quilt on a building," Janet said.
The two are fabric quilters first, but thought it would be a natural next step to take those patterns and transfer them onto wood.
But really, they do it because they love the town. "Everybody in the town looks after everybody that is here. We love Conconully!"
Greetings from Conconully Chamber of Commerce,
Did you know our small town of Conconully has been busy creating and hanging painted barn quilts in town and around our lakes? 80 wooden quilts are secured to the sides of businesses, homes plus public buildings for your enjoyment. We have created a quilt map readily available at the Community Hall for those visiting Conconully. While in Conconully also enjoy the museum, gift shop and general store followed by lunch at one of our restaurants if you wish.
Painted barn quilts are heritage quilts from long ago; rich in heritage from our area including mining, farming and ranching to present day winter sports. We have incorporated those activities as well as the wild life that wander our town as silhouettes into our quilts.
Now you can easily order a wooden quilt to your specifications!
