Apple Tree Barn Quilt

I've been painting like a wild woman this weekend, trying to get barn quilts ready for my new web shop, The BarnQuiltStore.

This is the "Apple Tree" pattern.
Doesn't it say Fall Y'all????

My husband & I rode our motorcycle to Ellijay, GA last week to our favorite orchard, B.J. Reece's.
We bought 6 fried apple pies, 4 fried coconut pies, a jar of apple butter & a bag of Mutsu apples.
The Granny Smith apples weren't ready yet so we're trying Mutsu which, I was told, is a cross between Golden Delicious & Granny Smith.
After we finish the fried pies (yum!) I may try baking with the Mutsu apples.

Don't you just LOVE apple season in the Fall???????  The orchards smell soooooo good!

Don't forget to stop by The BarnQuiltStore and let me know what you think!
I hope to have more barn quilts added by the end of next week so visit often!!

Do you have a favorite orchard you visit each fall????

The BarnQuiltStore Is OPEN! Barn Quilts For Sale!!!!!!

The BarnQuiltStore is open & ready to sell my hand painted barn quilts, wooden signs, and other fun stuff!
I'm SOOO excited!!!!
There is still a little 'tweaking' left to do but I couldn't wait to share this!!
Now, I need to get busy & paint more barn quilts!

All of my barn quilts are 2'x2', perfect for displaying on your garage, shed, front porch or even in your home.
They aren't just for "barns" anymore!!!

 With the holidays coming up (only a bit over 13 weeks before Christmas!!!!!), I'm hoping that some of you will choose a barn quilt as a unique gift.

I'm also selling on eBay & Etsy for now but hope that my online store takes off on it's own. In case you don't know about the history of Barn Quilts, I made up this short version to send out with my quilt squares.

For more information, and to check out the Barn Quilt Trails in your area, just GOOGLE Barn Quilts.
You'll be amazed at the history and all the places you can see these works of art.
My daughter and I are planning a trip to Iowa in November and are including a trip on the Iowa Barn Quilt Trail while we are there.

Feel free to 'splash' my link anywhere you think would be a good place to help me advertise...ok???!
My URL is www.barnquiltstore.com.
Please stop by my website & let me know what you think!
I love hearing from you!

The Yellow Daisy Festival

Thursday, my friend Fay & I headed towards Atlanta for the Yellow Daisy Festival.
Celebrating its 44th year, Stone Mountain Park’s Yellow Daisy Festival is one of America’s favorite and most well-known arts & crafts festivals. Featuring more than 400 artists from all over the country, the Yellow Daisy Festival is held each year in the month of September to celebrate the blooming of the Confederate Yellow Daisy.  (The daisy can be seen in its natural environment on hiking trails on the mountain). 

We spent the day enjoying all the arts, crafts, and FOOD!
I took lots of photos of the goodies that were for sale.

These folks have been here for years & years.
They sell fresh ground grits!

Rick Heard from Murfreesboro,TN makes the neatest treasures from recycled serving pieces.  Some were made into waterfalls, wind chimes, and even turtles!

One of my FAVORITE artists is Kathleen Green.
I personally own over 10 of her pictures.
She graciously agreed to pose by this huge painting of a cow...isn't it awesome!
It would look perfect in an office at Chic-Fil-A's corporate headquarters!!

We always have to stop & taste the delicious drinks at the Perky Moose....yum!!!
Tastes good & the packaging is so cute!

The rest are random photos of  booths at the festival!
So much eye candy...we wanted to take everything home with us!!

Hilarious sayings!
