Just south of Clear lake, California is the community of Kelseyville. Proud home to the Kelseyville Pear Festival, and the recently organized Lake County Quilt Trail - the very first in the state of California!
About Me
- sername
- carolina
- I am as I appear, and not. I am grounded, yet my spirit soars free. I am stable, but prone to extreme spontaneous moments. I am docile, until my passions are ignited or challenged. I am the yin and the yang, can simultaneously blow hot and cold, a sad little man, that can be funny I’m told. I enjoy walks by the water, sunny days, and nights with soft breezes. I like music with rhythm and rhyme, a cool blue downbeat sort of rock and roll most of the time. Then there is a classical urban Celtic sort of world roots music that makes me feel just fine. I enjoy animated conversations about things that matter; mystery or fact; trivial this and trivial that; but sometimes grow weary of small talk and chat. I am honest (what did you expect me to say), but sometimes confused. Always excited by creativity; art for art’s sake; a desire to grow; become better not bigger, wiser and not just smart. If you ask me if the glass is half empty or half full, I would want to know what’s in the glass. It might make all the difference.

Hi there,
I just want to mention that the California trail was started by someone from CA who visited the storytelling festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee, and saw the quilt trail there. They then contacted Roy Settle, who coordinates the quilt trail in that part of TN for information on how to get started.
How cool is that? There are dozens of trails betwenn TN and CA, but TN was where the spark happened. That's part of what makes this whole thing so amazing--people from across the country sharing their ideas and advice!
Hi, Suzi,
Marilyn Holdenried, the founder of the Kelseyville Pear Festival, is the driving force behind the Lake County Quilt Trail, the first in CA.
The Quilt Committe is creating quilt patches as we speak, and by the 18th Annual Festival (9/25/2010), we will have installed about 15 - all with no solicitation! What a wonderful community project - especially in this rural agricultural area of CA.
Thank you for mentioning the Lake County Quilt Trail. Is your book complete and available for purchase? I am interested.
