Hi my farmgirl friends! Hope everyone is doing great and ready for the big night (just one week from today) - Christmas Eve! Oh my my, I still have so much yet to do. Anyway, I was jus' sooooo excited about my barn quilt I had to share it with you all. We've had it completed for a while but we were unable to hang it up until we repaired our barn. But we put it up this last Saturday and we are jus' simply thrilled with it. Best thing about it, the pattern is the "Christmas Star" - so the timing was perfect.
Are there any other farmgirls out there with Barn Quilt Squares? I'd love to take a peek!! I know my dear friend Ada Mae has one - maybe she will share a picture of hers.
I'm not quite sure on how to load pics on here so I posted about it at www.cobblestonefarms.blogspot.com
I wish you all a happy and blessed holiday season. It has been wonderful being a farmgirl for almost a year!
Merry CHRISTmas from our farm to yours!!

I honestly did not know what a barn quilt was! I thought you were hanging a quilt up on your barn. But then I saw it. It is so awesome up there! So it's metal? And how long did it take to make it? I would love to do something like that on my goat barn. And all your things are so pretty. I love the cabin, too. Such a nice blog.

Hi Kris - glad you liked the barn quilt. I wasn't familiar with them either until a few years ago and I started to spot them on barns here and there. It is not made of metal - it is a high quality exterior grade wood and we used marine grade paints that are supposed to stand up to weather for 25 years. We'll see about that. But you could easily do one yourself. Ours is two 4X8 sheets - but you could make one half that size. Actually the sample board we made in order to approve the design is probably only 2X2 and I loved that size to hang inside the house.
Our town is actually going to be a part of the "Barn Quilt Tour" and everyone in our area that has one will be able to be a part of it. Some people actually drive around the entire state just to look at them. You might want to check locally and see if you have one in your area or state.
If you have any other questions - jus' let me know and I'll try to help. Hope you get a chance to make one!!!
Thanks for stopping by and check back in anytime!
Merry Christmas! Cathy

I have never seen any around here. All we have are the "See Rock City" signs on the barns. And those are few and far between anymore. But I'd still like to try to make one just for us and the goats. Do you think they'd like it?
