This Chinqua-Penn Trail quilt square was created in mosaic using hand cut stained glass. The featured images depict various scenes found along the 1.7 mile trail. The centerpiece shows the millstone Summer House, which also serves as the trail’s logo. Other images include a Black Angus cow, a bluebird, bamboo and a butterfly. The cow, bird and butterfly were inspired from trail photos taken by Rockingham County nature photographer, Gordon Allen. The quilt design also incorporates multiple “Y” shapes to give homage to the historic “Chinqua Penn” house designed by Jeff and Betsy Penn. It was created by local artist and trail neighbor, Teresa Talley Phillips and was presented by Sam, Teresa and Jack Phillips as a gift to Friends of Chinqua Penn Trail. The square is dedicated to the Talley Family who settled in this area in 1850.
