Love your barn quilt. I will show this photo to DH. He is known as the "birdhouse man" in our area. He gives away dozens every year! I love the way yours are stacked up, and I have the perfect post in our garden! I do hope you won't mind if I use your idea.
|
Very nice. Love where you put it!
|
I like it!
|
Love it!! Thanks for sharing.
|
We are looking forward to surprising my dad with one on his barn this summer in central Illinois. Even my husband looks for them each time we drive north.
|
This is a great idea! Hummmmm.....I have a metal pole barn, yellow w/chocolate brown slider doors.....I wonder what colors and block pattern would look good?????
|
Love it!! Makes me want a barn! :)
|
Looks wonderful. What a wonderful gift.
|
that's great, I have relatives in Iowa. I wish I had a barn I'd put a chicken quilt, I love chickens.
|
love it; we just moved from the country and i think i'll put one in the backyard.
|
I want one too. I would like to put it on my Dad's Barn in OK, but he objects. Oh well, someday I will have one.
|
Congratulations! They did a nice job!
|
that looks wonderful and what a nice gift... i love in ca and we dont even have barns..lol...
|
What a thoughtful present and I love your bird houses and feeder.
|
Looks great!
|
How wonderful. You will enjoy it and your wonderful birdhouses for years to come.
I can think of a spot at my house that I think one would look great! Now there's an idea in the making. |
I want to make one for my house in SW WI.
|
It's great! I watched a documentary on barn quilts about a year ago and am fascinated with them. We don't have them in Wyoming; we just have deer and elk antlers everywhere, so I love looking at the pictures of the barn quilts. It's so wonderful you have one.
|
Me, too! I don't have a barn, maybe on the deck!
|
I love to go to my son's because they are everywhere up there.
|
They are quite popular in NC and TN. We have been putting them for the last 12-14 years. Even building in small towns have them on their outside walls. I love seeing them.
|
That is so pretty on that barn.....
|
Sew happy that you got yours up !
|
What a neat gift!!! and I am glad your weather is getting nice!!!
|
In our travels we have seen many barn quilts. I always get so excited when I see them. My DH doesn't get it. It just makes me smile to know that there is a quilt person somewhere in the neighborhood no matter where I travel. His reaction is "meh."
Yours is just beautiful. |

Just a quick question Do you need a barn to hang it on -could it be on the side of a machine shed?
|
Pretty, love those birdhouses too!
|
Being from Australia I have never heard of them, but yours is beautiful.
|
It is wonderful! And so special being your kids MADE it for you! Looks great and love that birdhouse, water/feeder thing in the picture.

Beautiful! Wish I had a barn to put one on!
|
Looks wonderful! I wish I could put them up on all the tall buildings here in NYC!
|
I always like to see the pretty barn quilts in Iowa. Yours is lovely and I am glad you can enjoy it put up now.
|
