Love the sunflower wall! Do you harvest the seeds or just leave for the critters/birds.

I would love to make one for our back deck area. My husband doesn't like a lot of "stuff" on the house or in the yard so he's against it. I keep telling him that plain is boring, besides the deck faces a farmers field. I'm the only one that sits out there so why not!!

Our Guild had a program, then a workshop on making them. Some of our members were not happy with theirs. I love mine. I have 2 garage doors and have mine hanging above and between them - centered from the peak. The wood she brought to use was probably thinner than it should have been because many of them warped. I ended up framing mine because I had a problem with how to hang it. She advised us not to use a sealer because the paint was left over house paint and would hold up to the weather. I've had mine up for 5 years with no problem (except blowing off in a big wind storm) It identifies my house!!

Took a class last year on how to make them and ended up hanging that one on my neighbor's fence facing my direction. I've had more people comment on it - all positive. Have 3 more boards to do to finish that fence and then my other next door neighbors fence - all pointed in my direction. They don't have to be on a building.

I love them and seen many in Ohio and Kentucky. I have been wanting to put one outside above the door of my studio but haven't got around to it.

thank you Geri. Our three goats have passed now (sob) but we pulled and fed them out. But the birds do a good job of cleaning out the heads too.

someone here coined 'porch patch', they don't have to be big or complicated.
Create what you like and the wall will come

This is beautiful!!! I want a barn quilt and am having trouble deciding what the design to be.

Now if I can just get my son interested in making one for me, I would decide in a heartbeat.

Onemoe ~ Beautiful!

I have a plan to make 4 fabric quilt blocks and adhere them on separate pieces of wood or foam core board or something to hang collage-fashion by our front door. I have a product that would seal the fabric for weather proofing (although they will be under cover). I have fabrics and patterns in one of my PIGS totes!

When my DH finished the shed, I used the shed doors and painted the top and bottom the same blocks.
