As a jewelry maker for the past 20 years, Kentucky has served its fair share of inspiration to Gish-Smith. And she kept experimenting — making these charms in patterns of the many barn quilt squares seen throughout Kentucky. She loves how these barn quilt squares can draw people into the countryside who may not veer off interstate otherwise. Gish-Smith said people can expect to see bright colors and beautiful quilt patterns in her work. She plans to have several patterns from the Heritage Quilt Trail, which includes patterns from Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln and Jessamine counties.
