Do you like quits and farm life? See over 100 on display on barns throughout Temiskaming. It's part of a self-drive tour to bring awareness to the 2009 International Plowing Match. Yes, that's 2009 September.
This photo is of me painting a 'tree' quilt that will go up on display in Temagami village.
Personally, I am thrilled to drive the lush farmland of Temiskaming only to see the most stunning quilts painted on barns. I am painting a series of watercolours to depict this. For those who wish to drive about (you can easily take less than a day), there is a map to go with it outlining the story of each quilt and the farm's history. What a great way to tour the bread basket of Ontario.
P.S. Smoothwater offers lodgings and meals for International Plowing Match tourists.
