Barn Quilts For Christmas From The BarnQuiltStore!

Our Christmas season has been VERY busy here at the BarnQuiltStore!

 

 

 We had to move our order cutoff date back to November 30 as we had so many

 Christmas deliveries to make!

Even then, we have continued to receive orders to be delivered after Christmas!! 

 

I thought I'd share some of the custom orders we've painted this season.

This pattern is called 'Four Seasons', interesting & colorful!

 

I also painted a couple of  farm implement logos.

Above is Allis Chalmers & below is International Harvester.

 

 

 

Meet our 2 newest family members:

Punkin' & Buddy!

These boys were both strays that showed up at our home together.

In fact, they are almost inseparable!!

Our last dog had just passed away & we were not planning on

getting any more animals.

These 2 hung around our place &, when the weather starting getting cold, we decided they had to come in & live with us!

One of the best decisions we ever made!

Buddy & Punkin' have filled an empty spot in our lives.

We honestly feel they were heaven sent!

 

 

We hope you all have a Merry Christmas & the happiest of New Years!

A BarnQuiltStore Original, Le Poulet Pattern Barn Quilt

Our newest pattern...'Le Poulet'!

I've been playing around, creating some BarnQuiltStore Original Patterns.

The first was 'Queen Bee'.

I painted it after meeting some 

wonderful folks at an Arts Festival that

 raise honey bees & sell the delicious honey.

We recently sold a Friendship Star

 barn quilt to a lady in Wisconsin.

She sent a photo of it displayed 

on her chicken coop!

Doesn't it look great!!

It's such fun seeing barn quilts

 in their new 'homes'!! 

Know any chicken lovers out there???

'Le Poulet' is for sale on our website

The BarnQuiltStore.

The BarnQuiltStore Blog is BACK!!

Hello bloggers!!!!

I've been gone a long time...5 months to be exact...so much has happened!!

This is my second year of retirement as well as my second year of painting barn quilts.

We have been so BUSY!!!!!

Our website, The BarnQuiltStore, and our Etsy shop have kept me painting!

We entered our first Arts Festival this summer
 and came away with a blue ribbon!

Bill has been shipping out barn quilts like crazy
 but still has time to ride with the
Patriot Guard on some of their missions.

I've designed a barn quilt pattern of my own,
 I call it The Queen Bee Pattern.

It's for sale on our website
as well as in our Etsy shop.

We've added several more patterns to our store,
and are up to almost 50 for you to choose from!!

Thanks for letting me catch up with you.
I'll try to be a better blogger in the
 future and not have so much
time pass between posts!
I appreciate you all hanging with me!

How's your summer going???

New Barn Quilts for The BarnQuiltStore!

Last week was an unusually rainy and dreary week here in Georgia.
I took advantage of the weather and spent some quality time in my workshop painting barn quilts!

I've photographed each barn quilt 2 ways so you could see how it looks hung on point or hung square.

Amazing how different they look, isn't it??!!

Each of these barn quilts are going to be for sale on my website, The BarnQuiltStore, as soon as I get a chance to load them.

Spring is just around the corner....bet you could you find a place at your home to hang a barn quilt!
How about on your garden shed, porch, or maybe even over your garage door??
They're so fun and colorful adding that special 'something' to your outdoor decor!!

Remember.....they aren't just for barns anymore!!!!

Keep watching, I have several more new patterns in the works!!

Sunbonnet Sue & Drunkard's Path Barn Quilts

I recently completed these 2 custom barn quilts for a customer in Alabama.

For the Sunbonnet Sue, I used both paint & fabric as mediums.
This pattern is a favorite of my customer's mother.
In order to get the 'look' I wanted, I painted her hands & shoes and used fabric for the rest of her outfit & the flowers.
Isn't Sue a cutie?!

The Drunkard's Path Pattern was a favorite of her Grandmother's.
I needed to do some drawing on my computer to make this as it's not the normal straight line pattern I'm used to painting.

I'm hoping my customer sends a photo of these 2 quilts when she hangs them on her barn!
Can't wait to see them!

Painting more barn quilts is my goal for 2013...one I'll enjoy!!!

Another New Barn Quilt in Adairsville, GA!

 I'm proud to say there is another Barn Quilt in the Adairsville, GA area!

The Canine Cottage is showing off one of my favorite patterns, the American Star.

If you visit this part of Georgia, you can find this barn quilt about 1 mile south of Adairsville on GA US Hwy 41.

Dana and her crew run a wonderful dog grooming business there as well as a small kennel.

Both of my 'boys' stayed there when my husband & I were out of town and they also are groomed by Dana on a regular basis.  I wouldn't take them anywhere else!

It's such an honor to see barn quilts that I have painted displayed!

Happy New Year, everyone!!!

Iowa Barn Quilts

 I spent several weeks in Iowa this December visiting family.

 While I was there, I saw some wonderful barn quilts!

 I had planned on taking the Barn Quilt Trail in Grundy County but time didn't allow it this trip.

 Fortunately, the Iowa countryside is decorated with Barn Quilts so I did get to take a few photos.

I love living in Georgia, but my heart will always call Iowa home!

This last picture was taken at my brother's home place.  My sister-in-law painted the Grandmother's Fan Pattern and my nephew built the frame.  Love that old building!

A special thanks to all of you that bought your Christmas gifts from my online shop, The BarnQuiltStore!  This was our first holiday season and, thanks to you, it was a huge success!
