Purchase a Quilt Trail Flag
| The Tillamook County Quilt Trail is now Quilt Trail
flags that you can purchase. Currently, we are offering two designs, Mildred's
Rose and Ray Log Cabin, each highlighting someone or thing historical in Tillamook County.
The flags come in one size, approximately 30 inches square, and have a sleeve for hanging.
Cost for each flag is $25.00 and includes shipping. A portion of the funds are used to maintain the Quilt Trails and to support the efforts of the making of the flags. |

“Fly Our Flag: Piecing Together Generations” [a project of the Tillamook County Quilt Coalition, a 501(c)3] is an outreach project between the Special Needs Community and Mentoring Adults in Tillamook County, Oregon. This project allows individuals and groups with special needs the opportunity to learn essential and sustainable life skills through the production of flags designed to replicate the Quilt Trail(s) displayed throughout our County. Organizations working with this project include: Tillamook School District #9, Tillamook County 4H Leaders’ Association, Marie Mills and the Tillamook Senior Center.

Using volunteer mentors, each flag is cut, sewn, packaged, and mailed by our special needs community. Thank you for appreciating the nuance of individuality expressed in each unique work.
It's what keeps us working.

Mildred's Rose
Mildred Berkey Davy was the embodiment of Tillamook Spirit. Born in Blaine, Oregon, Mildred married a local boy and together they had a lasting impact on the fabric of Tillamook life. She was the host of local radio station KTIL’s It’s a Woman’s World for more than 40 years beginning in 1961, and until her death in October 2005 at age 93, the oldest regularly-scheduled radio personality in the United States. She was a tireless advocate for education and learning, leaving behind the Mildred Davy Endowed Scholarship at Tillamook Bay Community College. She also loved yellow
roses.
Mildred's Rose will have a limited edition of 25.

Ray Log Cabin
Lester Ray came to south Tillamook County in April,1880, filed a claim for 160 acres of land near the location of present day Cloverdale and built a house out of cottonwood logs. Four years later, his son, Charles, filed his own claim for some land adjoining his father’s and set about developing a business community, first building a cheese factory and a general mercantile store in 1894, as well as the wooden two story structure that was his home. It still stands today and is listed on the Oregon State Inventory of Historic sites and Buildings because of its historic significance to the state and its association with town development.
