Barn quilts have become very popular. Have you seen them?
Designing and painting my own barn quilts in 2008,
I mount them proudly on our own barns and sheds
every spring and summer.

Then, a friend in Texas took the barn quilts in another direction.

Tina loves to cross stitch, designing her own patterns
from objects that interest her.
She surprised me with lovely cross stitched pieces of my barn quilts!
I was amazed at the detail she was able to achieve.
Just look. . .

How do you make the barn quilts? They are beautiful.
I plan to post a tutorial this summer on "How To Paint A Barn Quilt."
Please do!
Our old barn has an ancient hex symbol, but just cries out for a quilt!
