Such a beautiful photograph from barn owner Maria Piacenti of Kankakee, IL. Could there be anything better? A barn quilt in falling snow --at night. Just makes you want to snuggle!
And here is a sweet gift from my friends in Kankakee:

Enjoy!
My three favorite things: quilts, barns and snow:) LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, but it look so cold! makes me want to wrap up in a quilt now!
ReplyDeleteThanks--glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteThat YouTube video is so sweet. The music is just as touching. I have travelled with my husband along the Ohio River up through Cincinnati and have had the opportunity to see some barn quilts there.
ReplyDeleteWe also eat at this very sweet restaurant called "Moyers" right on the Ohio river. They have a quilt right on their barn too. I love 'em. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you like it! I know Moyers well; it's where Donna Sue Groves and I have dinner when I visit--what a view!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful opportunity to write this book! I was also inspired by the quilt lady to one day paint quilt squares on our barns. Beautiful pictures! Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteIt really has been a joy; now that the book is finished, I am at loose ends!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will paint those barn quilts; please share photos when you do.
Thanks
