What is a Barn Quilt?
Barn Quilts are a homegrown art form combining a few aspects of traditional Americana - barns, quilts, and road trips.
Donna Sue Groves of Manchester, Ohio is credited with beginning the barn quilt trail movement in 2001 to honor her mother's love for quilting. Today, there are barn quilts on barns, homes, and buildings throughout North America.
Why the Dragonfly?
In almost every part of the world, the Dragonfly symbolizes change, transformation, adaptability, and self-realization. The Dragonfly has been a symbol of happiness, new beginnings and change for many centuries. The Dragonfly means hope, change, and love.
We believe that Chiefland, Florida is poised for a great renaissance. Our hope is to bring a positive change to every property we renovate to uplift and unite our community.
