Those of you who read my friend Susan's blog saw a very similar picture there yesterday.I saw my first "local" (within an hour's drive of my home) barn quilt when I went on a quilting adventure with two friends on Friday. This was painted on a barn on the property owned by the folks at Sew What? Fabric Shoppe on County Route 119 in Addison, NY. Nothing fancy, just a large block painted right on the side of the barn. But it looks great!

It was such a fun day! We really need to take quilty trips like that more often!
I love the barn quilts. I have seen at least 4 in our area. They are all just one big block, except one gal (or hubby the sign maker) painted an irish chain quilt. Wish I had a barn.
I've SEEN that barn quilt - this past summer my husband took me to Addison so I could see where he grew up. I wish I'd known there was a quilt store inside, I would have made him stop! Thanks for sharing, Lisa
