Barn Quilts
No quilting makes a quilting blog rather dull. I haven’t done any personal quilting in over 8 weeks and even the quilting I’m committed to doing for others has been a little sparse so I don’t have any pictures to show. (My feeling of apathy is making me look like a flake, but unfortunately my apathy won’t let me care either.)
I thought I’d share a few links to Barn Quilts. If you haven’t seen them, they are old barns with 8′ x 8′ quilt squares on them. I think they are really neat but then, I like old barns AND quilts. It seems these barns have become tourist attractions with bus tours and everything. This Ohio old barn website has quilt barn pictures from Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Tennessee as well as other types of barn photos.
These are a few of my favorites:
If I ever make it back to NY to fulfill my homesteader-wannabe-wishes, and my property has an old barn, I’m going to have to have an 8′ x 8′ quilt square on it.

Hope you come out of your apathy soon. I get that way myself but right now I’m raring to go and can’t sew due to our Shop Hop in full swing (I work at a quilt shop). I did get a project cut out and ready to put together but it will have to wait! Love those barns.
Beautiful, I like it too !!!
Kind Regards,

I love Quilt Barns. Check out my blog for pics of the Quilt Barns I have been fortunate enough to see in person. PP
Where in NY?
How very cool.
