I'm hoping one day to have a barn quilt for my garage here in California. I think my friends could show me how to do one...maybe during quilt show week in July!!

Barn quilts
One of the many things I love about Wisconsin is that there are barn quilts found everywhere. In fact, the town of Evansville, where our retreat was held, had a tourist map devoted exclusively to finding barn quilts throughout the town. I wasn't too successful at finding all of them but I did get some pictures. We also saw feed sacks on the clothes line!!

Fun sightings! : )
ReplyDeleteThey have done that in Tillamook Oregon but they are all over on businesses. I thought it was kind of cheesy marketing. They do have the textile museum in that town so I know why they did it, but it wasn't appealing to me at all.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! The sky is so blue, you must have had beautiful weather :)
