He started making barn quilts this year! 4 buildings so far have been decorated by his handy work. Last week he entered one in the county fair and now he has been asked to show them at the local quilt guild's annual show in a couple of weeks. My favorite of his is a simple star pattern,then he free hand cut out a hammer and hand saw, painted them black and mounted them in the middle like it was appliqued. AWESOME! This one hangs on his garage turned woodshop!<br />Thanks for all the great photos of the barn quilts.Bjwalsh101https://www.blogger.com/profile/13283757010580749027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-55339114487683795792011-07-27T10:36:48.355-04:002011-07-27T10:36:48.355-04:00I love those quilt block barns!

My husband's parents both grew up there, and he has a lot of family in town, so we've been there many times. Someday I hope you get to visit the western edge of Iowa, in the Loess Hills. Thanks for the pics of barn quilts!<br /><br />Leah ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-77423007975067982572011-07-27T09:14:04.146-04:002011-07-27T09:14:04.146-04:00I feel your pain!

What a beautiful day for an amusement park! Anyway, the sooner the cleaning is done, the sooner you can go back to sewing :-) Way to go on being so far ahead on the blocks, I bet once you get in a groove, it is best to just keep on going!Amy Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782922313232822692noreply@blogger.com
