This is my barn quilt...I live in town..I don't actually have a barn..but I do have SIX children...so it may be considered a barn anyhow?

I always ask them if they were born in a barn because they don't close doors ( quite frequently)...to which they reply.."Maybe?? Weren't you there?">
:?

I think I have even gotten "Well Jesus was born in a barn...So it can't be that bad?"
:hunf:

So anyway...I see the pictures on here quite often....and at a quilt show yesterday someone was selling them...so I bought one! YAY!

Now everyone in town will know a quilters lives in my barn...er I mean house.

Thanks!
Charisma

Looks great!

NikkiLu 10-08-2011 04:25 PM

WOW - I am so very impressed!

I'm going to add one in the Spring. It's a good thing my son is willing to put up such things because I don't do high ladders.

Yours is a very pretty one. Like the colors, love the pattern.

That is beautiful! I've often thought of painting some to sell at the farmers market. If you feel comfortable saying how much you paid, I'd appreciate it. If not, I understand.
It's gorgeous!

I would love one of my boys to make me one for Christmas. I keep telling them don't buy me anything...make me something...this would be perfect.

I want one on my house too :!:

Sure!

They had small I think maybe 14 inch ones for 25$ and this one which is about 26 inches was 40$

I hope that helps.

Very pretty! And so refreshing to hear that your kids know that Jesus is the ideal role model.

moonwork42029 10-08-2011 05:14 PM

looks sharp

johanka 10-08-2011 05:30 PM

How are they made? Just painting on a board or what? If it is just painting then I could do one for myself.
Thanks for any answers.

Makes me want one.

debcavan 10-08-2011 06:33 PM

REally cool

wraez 10-08-2011 06:34 PM

Looks perfect ... and a great idea. Hmmmm wonder if I could put a small one by my front door? Yup, love that idea.

blueangel 10-08-2011 07:15 PM

Beautiful

dellareya 10-08-2011 07:42 PM

I love it. I hope seeing yours will inspire me to make one for my house.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 10-08-2011 07:59 PM

I love your "barn quilt". I've been thinking of doing that too even though I live in town. We could take down the basketball hoop that isn't used and put one up. Maybe you will start a townie barn quilt trend.

RkayD 10-08-2011 08:12 PM

I don't have a barn either but I made my own. It sits in the window for now. I want to put it in the yarn on some posts.

I have 6 kids too. =) Quite a ride isn't it?? =)

earthwalker 10-08-2011 09:19 PM

Looks great, goes with your home perfectly. I have a vast expanse of plain wall at our place....going to talk my husband into making me a few.

vivoaks 10-09-2011 03:06 AM

Neat! Love it! :thumbup:
