Between my cold and this book, not much quilting has been done this week! I pre-ordered this from
Amazon and I received it a couple of days ago. I have been enjoying it so much! The stories and pictures are so great! I have only seen a couple of quilt blocks on barns in person and they have been in the Ohio Hocking Hills area. So neat to see! Makes me want to put one on our chicken house...dorky? or cool? We would like to have a barn someday but it won't have the character of the ones in this book. Love the story of the originator, Donna Sue Groves. Love this book!!
This is my February block for the Aurifil challenge. You can find more info
here if you want to get involved. They have 12 designers and 12 months of stitchery patterns with Aurifil thread giveaways. I didn't do January as it was a "snowbird" theme I didn't relate to. Love these snowmen by Sherri Falls though. I haven't bordered it yet as I am not sure how I want to finish it. She has a post on her blog if you want to finish it her way:

I don't have a barn either and was crazy about barn quilts, so my husband made me a barn quilt that proudly hangs on our front fence with a hand made sign above it that says, "A Quilter Lives Here." I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat begs the question, what block design did you pick?
