How interesting.

bet that was near the Kalona, IA exit--Don (ISew) would know. Very cool--wish I had those tiles in my bathroom!

Yes, that would have not been a place I would expect to see those. : )
|
How unique. Love it.

What a delightful surprise to find these 'barn quilts' on the outside and the quilt blocks in the floor of the inside of the rest stop. They are in/on the rest stop on I80 on the east side of the state. The drunkards path tile in the floor was not very recognizable.

I have also seen these quilt squares at the rest stop while going to visit my brother in DesMoines. I must say, I have never seen so many quilt shops as they have in DesMoines and the whole state for that matter. I was there during the Quilt week celebration so I went to a great quilt show downtown. I also went to Missouri Star, which was a treasure and not far from Des Moines. We went to the Amana Colonies, another amazing community where quilting was a necessity. I think my sister in law caught the quilting bug. She sewed for many years but never nade a quilt. now she has!!!!

Are you on vacation? Or maybe attending Deb Tucker's Certified Instructor training in Des Moines?

I just love the blocks and want one for my barn. DH doesn't see the point, but the point is simple: we all want to be surrounded by quilt art!
|
That is fabulous!

Oh my gosh....I live in Davenport, Iowa and have never had the opportunity to stop at this particular rest stop. How could I have missed it?? Guess a special trip is in order...LOL ! Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
