Ran across this when I was looking for some quilting information. I found this very interesting.

I have heard of these. My dad is a truck driver and he has seen these barn quilts. I would love to see them.

I would like to see them also, thanks for the link. Eleanor Burns has a book out for a Barn quilt sampler that is really cute, too.

I have seen some of these too... I would love to take a road trip across america to see them all :D:D:D What a trip that would be!!!

There are several barn quilts in central Illinois and Iowa. I never really thought about people not seeing them. Like everything else, when you see them all the time you kind of take them for granted.
Here are a couple of links to self guided tours in IL and IA. The second link is to a tour in IA. The barn on the first page of the link is featured in Eleanor Burns new Barn Quilt book. http://web.extension.illinois.edu/ka...arn/index.html http://www.barnquilts.com/ These are in WI. I've never seen them, but they look pretty. http://www.gazlo.com/marketplace/bus...products/6937/ |
I just read an article in a magazine about them, and I cant remeber which. I think it was Mary Janes Farm...they are really neat!
|
how cool this is, I never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing!
