And now I am selling calendars to try to pay off my travel expenses--yikes! But I wouldn't change a thing. When I have that book in hand, it will be so amazing!<br /><br />Glad you like this one. It's a humble barn but I do think it looks great with this quilt.Suzi Parronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386562084822849425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773577006513741123.post-45200218889428919762010-11-18T10:23:42.113-05:002010-11-18T10:23:42.113-05:00I love your blog and calendar--can't wait to h...I love your blog and calendar--can't wait to hang it up Jan 1st!ann hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068868213248274695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773577006513741123.post-35819526395429685702010-11-18T08:05:46.675-05:002010-11-18T08:05:46.675-05:00Two summers ago my son had an internship in Ashe c...Two summers ago my son had an internship in Ashe county NC. He sent me a link showing the many barn quilts in the area. Since he had come to know the painters of several of them, he asked me to make a quilt (fabric) featuring some of these as a rememberance of his time there. I took on the challenge of drafting patterns which ranged from relatively simple maple leaf to more complicated carpenter's wheel all into 12 inch blocks and have most of them made. I guess I better get back to work on that project again before he moves home to Illinois from North Carolina!sosarahsewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709668733325677018noreply@blogger.com
