I had the opportunity to visit the farm of Jim and Judy Logsdon not long ago. They are located just south of Ripley, IL.
They bought the house and 5 acres in 1995 from the Stout Family. The farm has been owned by the Stout’s since back in the 1860’s and the barn was built by them. It is a gambrel roof design that was used at one time as a milking parlor. It is still used for hay storage and a place for beef cattle.
Judy says the four 4’ x 4’ barn quilts are of a Four Seasons pattern and were made by Connie Markley. Jim hung the signs and put a nice wooden frame around them. I think they look fantastic!
Judy also has a quilt shop that is very nice. You can see from the pictures she does a fantastic job and she showed me a wonderful baby quilt she had just finished. If you ever get in their area, the barn quilts and quilt shop are worth a look see.
Thanks Jim and Judy!
