MAPLE LEAF


This 4 footer was ordered by a local couple who gave it to the husbands parents as a Christmas gift. It will be hung locally and, hopefully, be seen from a major roadway in our area. I love it when some of our barn quilts stay in the area!

CATS

This one was made for my parents for Christmas. I called it "Cats" but later thought "Cats in the Window" could have worked too. It's on a 2 x 2 board.

TOY SOLDIER

This is one I made just for fun. I found the design in my pattern book by Maggie Malone. I made it on a 1 foot by 2 foot board. It's for sale for $50. Thanks for looking.

DIRECTOR'S DREAM

This is called "Director's Dream" and I made it for my wife Pat for Christmas. The colors should go with the siding on our house. We'll see how it looks on the front porch once the temps warm up.

Thanks for looking.

CONTRARY WIFE

This 4 footer was just done not long ago and is going to Salina Kansas as a Christmas gift. It's a red, white and blue version of "Contrary Wife".

PLAY BALL!


This is a 3 foot barn quilt our friends asked us to make so they could give as a Christmas gift. I had never did any free hand painting before so was a little bit apprehensive about doing it. But, it turned out pretty good I think.

BUCK & JO'S TOO

Our friends that own a local restaurant here in Winchester allowed us to display a couple barn quilts inside. We put up the 3 foot "Christmas Star" and the 2 foot "Illinois". We hope to swap out the 2 footer every month if possible with something new. Stop by and enjoy a great meal and enjoy viewing our barn quilts.

GOTTA KEEP THE OUTHOUSE WARM!

I (Mark) made my mom a 2 ft. barn quilt to put on their outhouse not long ago and I saw today dad got it mounted. It's the "Christmas Star" I posted earlier. Looks pretty good I think.
