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.

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 mine, just finished it.
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![Wink](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png)
I'm thinking about trying painting on the tire cover of our new 5th wheel.
Have Barn Quilt, will travel!

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!
