I posted my lastest finding of Quilt Barns.....in southern Ohio.....in my other blog, because I know that some of the people who read it love old barns. But if you read this blog and not the nature blog, here is a link. Southern Ohio Quilt Barns.....
It is such a fun idea. Barns and quilts just seem to go together. I wish Indiana would get busy and add our state to the quilt barn trail. We have tons of barns to put them on! If you have one of the maps, driving around looking at them is a lot of fun.
Mary, Have you ever been to Arcola, Illinois? That was the first place I saw a Quilt Barn. I think they have a quilt show in July. I have been a couple of times. It is a fun way to spend a day.
This blog is mostly an archive of my past and present quilt projects. I started "quilting" in 1984 when I made a bluejean quilt for my son. For about 10 years I did nothing but cut 6 inch squares and sew them into small patchwork lap quilts that were very badly made and gave them as gifts to everyone I knew. Never actually quilted any of them...always tied them. My sister, Margaret bought me all the gagets a modern quilter uses....cutting table, mat, ruler, rotary cutter and I finally learned that quilting could be fun. What a nice sister I have! The show "Simply Quilts" was the next step in my quilt education and I learned so much and tried so many things once I began watching. What a blessing Alex Anderson and her show was to the beginning quilter! What I post in this blog is what I enjoy doing! I finally feel like a "quilter" even though I have much to learn and still am not good at the actual quilting process! That's why they invented long arm quilting machines and people who can use them!

How lovely, the quilts show up so well against the barns don't they.

Brenda: No I haven't. Will have to add that to my places that have quilt barns and see how far away it is from here.
