We now have our barn quilts at the Times Square Sewing Complex in Jacksonville, IL. We thank the owner, Sue Fox, for allowing us to display and advertise some of our inventory in her fantastic shop. We appreciate it. Stop by and see the barn quilts, inside and outside, and all the neat things Sue and her staff have in their store.

PIKE COUNTY FALL COLOR DRIVE

We had a great time this past Saturday at the home of Carroll and Sue Cox just west of Pittsfield. They had a handful of vendors there and we were able to set our barn quilts, and our daughter's home décor items, up in front of their original log cabin. Mark went in his Colonial outfit and gave tours of the cabin along with keeping a fire going in the fireplace. It was really needed since it was pretty cool and windy.

We had a number of potential contacts and sold some inventory. Thanks to all who came by and visited with us. We hope to set up there again next year. A big thank you to the Cox's and their family for hosting such a great event.

MARINER'S COMPASS

One of our daughter's is a teacher at the Bluffs Elementary School and we were asked to donate a barn quilt to their 3rd Annual PTO Penny Carnival to help raise funds for school activities. We said yes and here is the 2 x 2 Mariner's Compass that will be auctioned off at the event on Sunday Oct. 26th from 1-3 p.m. Come by and participate if you can. We'd really appreciate it.

PANDA PATCH

Our three oldest grandkids all wanted barn quilts for their rooms so the two older one's each picked one from our inventory but the youngest wanted one out of our book of 5500 patterns. So, this is what she decided on. I made her a 12" Panda Patch and she is so proud of it.

GOD'S EYE AT REST

Here is a picture our cousin's, the Coryell's from Lebanon, MO., sent us of their stained glass God's Eye barn quilt mounted on their home. It looks great and the colors blend well with the home!
