Every year...Every other year??? I forget, but at least every other year a couple in our area does a quilt show in their barn. And by barn I mean bigger then my house....and the doors are probably more expensive then my whole house! It is a beautiful property down Walker Lane on 16 acres. I dragged my sister Whit along for company. There were some great quilts on display, and even better quilting. A lot of my photos are close up to capture more of the quilting and less of the quilt. I thought I would share a few of my favorites.
The BARN...
Some of the land around the barn
An actual goat in the barn...with the quilts
Love the fireworks in the quilting!
Sampler quilt - how bright and cheery. It was so much better in person!
I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but the star centers were I Spy fabrics. Cute and different from others I've seen.
I have this pattern and have been wanting to make it for ages. Love the small and large stars together.
I bought the book with this pattern in it, just for this pattern. I thought it could be my first applique project!
I'm not sure what this pattern is, but I saw this a lot at the show in several different color ways.
This is a a wheel pattern...can't remember the name. Funny how Thelma was just talking about this pattern or one very similar to it the other day. I had never seen the pattern before and now I've seen the quilt! What a small world!
Cute and simple. Love the Christmas colors.
I love the 25 patches how they are all done in 1 color way per block but then all mixed. I don't know if I would have ever been daring enough to do something like this until I saw the quilt!
It was so much fun to see all the different quilts, and especially the quilting. I hope they continue this tradition. All proceeds go to a homeless shelter. Its for a very good cause! What a fun way to spend a few hours.
