Fall Fun on the Quilt Trail

Nancy and Wayne Noe are on a mission. A mission to find and catalogue every quilt square they can find. They started with Hamblen, Cocke and Jefferson counties and are now branching out. They came by the AQT headquarters on Friday, October 30 to show us their photo album and ask questions. We were glad to learn of their adventures and of the corrections they had for us for the AQT Guide. Nancy loves taking photographs and Wayne loves to find the locations the old fashioned way...with a plain old roadmap! Happy hunting and best wishes from AQT. Keep in touch! Do you have AQT stories? We would love to hear them and share them at vacationaqt.com. Just send us a note at info@vacationaqt.com.
