Grist Mill

Block Number: 21

By Nora Worthen

The "Grist Mill" quilt block, chosen by Richard and Nora Worthen, hangs on Richard’s woodworking shop near their home in Brackett Town in southern McDowell County. The block was selected in memory of Nora’s paternal grandfather, John J. Sprouse, who owned and operated the Sprouse Grist Mill that at one time was located about a quarter of a mile south of the woodworking shop and home.
