Your Red Barn couldn't have turned out any nicer!! :thumbup: You have done a great job making it & I wouldn't even worry about about few crooked shingle's. That makes your barn more unique!!
:D :D :D :D

Just came back from fabric store with my barn supplies! All ready to get to work - instead of wood, saw, hammer and nails, it's fabric, scissors, pins and thread. Hoping there is no redo during the process and thankful there is no deadline. I really have been enjoying these BOMs. :D

So, where am I going to put this barn now???
That is assuming I can find a way to get those 3 missing pieces printed off.

Try this though I'm sure all computers and printers are diff but I did "print preview"...Then I adjusted to 100% not shrink to fit...Then on my screen right above the template on the top,bottom and sides I noticed arrows...If you move those it moves the margins...WA LA I got what I needed that was cut off. Hope this works on your end...

Here's my barn - with working doors. When I don't have the fabric I want, I just find some clip art that will work, and print it on fabric - thus the animals in the barn.

I like the working doors, great idea! And using clipart is genius. Do you copy it on any fabric, or do you use the special kind?
