Barns....

This fun quilt was designed by Lori Holt and I made it a couple years ago with her barn along on her blog...it was so fun to make. The pattern is now included in her Farm Girl Vintage book....a great sew!  Finally quilted and bound...yeehaw...

The Barn Quilt....

 My attempts to photograph my barn quilt were impeded by some blustery wind this morning....

 The Barn Along, hosted by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet, was so very fun to do...I looked forward every other week to make my new block or at least see it and get excited to make it...

She also has designed Barn/Silo blocks which I want to make as well...This fun little quilt will fit a twin bed when finished.  I am going to put a white border then finish with a fun red binding...The barns remind me of the Mid-West with all of their beautiful red barns..how I miss the Mid-West!!!

More Barn Blocks

 Here are a couple more barn blocks...

 There are going to be 12 blocks total...I love how they are coming together!!!

 A couple of weeks ago, my mom and I went to St. George for a baby blessing.  We stayed at my brother's home and I got to sleep under a quilt that my grandmother and great grandmother pieced and hand quilted out of feed sacks and old clothing...

I love the border and really love this whole quilt.  It is quite worn as it was used for my nieces and nephews growing up, but still radiates the original beauty...

Barn Raising...

 Did a little bit of barn raising over my weekend...

 I love Lori's pattern...it went together so easily...

 Lori posts the next barn on next Wednesday...

 If you haven't joined in yet...you may want to because they are so cute...

I just need to add borders to make this a 20" block...swoon, I am in love...

Barn Along...

 I'll be having a barn raising at my house....

 Been so busy with other projects that I am barely starting on my barn a-long...

 These are Farmer's Wives blocks which will go in the barn block...

 You can find the barn along and tutorials here...

 These little blocks are sure fun to make...

Stay tuned for my progress...Lori posts every 2 weeks...so she posted number 5 this week...
