Here's mine. It's made from a 4 x 4 ft. sheet of 3/8" plywood, mounted on a frame for hanging. I used regular outdoor house paint and it's been up for about 3-4 years with no problem. It hangs in the peak of the garage.

KalamaQuilts, I love your sunflowers, and the tire cover idea is great. Maybe my next car will have one.

Onemoe and Forgiven, I like yours, too.

The fence is a great idea! My late hubby built me my block. It hangs on the garage side, which faces the street. I showed him the block I wanted but did not tell him the nsme. He was a retired master carpenter, so when I finally told him the block was for me, in honor of him, he was super pleased. I have as smaller on that hangs on the front porch, picked it out of someone's garbage and cleaned it up. That one is an Ohio star. I just love them.

One of the many cancer books I read with my first cancer said to pick an icon, anything that said Healthy Happy Hope to me.
Sunflower came to mind. Rob plants walls of them each year ;)

I'm thinking about trying painting on the tire cover of our new 5th wheel.

I have a barn quilt on my garage in town. I love it and people are surprised to see it there. But, I don't have a photo.
