Tulips and a Windmill. I'm thinking they are Dutch.

For the Chamberlains, Brantford, ON.

Pine trees, Maples and Bees. Hit them all with this one.

Oh wowzers, great shot, gorgeous sunset.

Everything has gone way up in cost-wood, aluminum, paint. Aluminum was back ordered for quite some time, it's in stock now but cost is up considerably. My paints have gone up 2x since this covid plague. I may have to raise my prices for this "hobby" or go get a "real job" to continue to pay for materials.

The Innes Maple Tartan is up.

I have a soft spot for animal sanctuaries. Their big hearts and mission are why I donate barn quilts to their cause. This is the Dara Mandala at Dara Farm Sanctuary near Wheatley, ON. I think in my retirement I should hit up every animal sanctuary in Ontario and offer them a barn quilt!

4x4 Maple Knot installed today too, seems to be the day to install barn quilts. Mitchell, ON.

A Barn Board Maple installed. Beans (bottom left corner) was supervising, near Thorndale, ON. #barnquilts #barnboard #maple

Lemoyne Star/Mariner's Compass. Design by quilter Amornrat Sirawttanakul. Thanks Annie for bringing this beauty to my attention from the Facebook group Scrap Quilt Enthusiasts. Quilting groups are the best places to find patterns.

Year ago today this was the view. I shared this photo with a Facebook group called View from my window. It's been published in a book now put together with photos from all over the world taken from our windows during this ongoing covid pandemic.

Happy Birthday Darlene Stewart, Embro, ON. This 3x3 Maple Leaf Star is a birthday gift from her children. How sweet! #barnquilts #mapleleaf #maple

Compass variation. I designed this particular one over 3 years ago. Ive seen it duplicated many times by other barn quilt artists. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. This particular one with the directions switched around is heading to the St. Marys, ON area for a gray garden shed with a red door.

These 2 barn quilts were inspired by this blanket. The technique to make this blanket is called Overshot Weaving. Overshot is a weave structure creating a plain-weave cloth with decorative supplementary weft floats. These floats lie on top of (float over) the ground cloth. If you pull out all of the pattern weft threads, you are left with a plain weave cloth formed by the warp and the tabby weft.

Enjoy, a couple of mine featured: the Shamrock Star at the Lucan Area Heritage & Donnelly Museum and the Direction to Peace at Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary.

Beautiful blue sky today, perfect backdrop for this 8x8 compass, Huron County, ON. photo compliments of Lanktree Tree Services. #barnquilts #obqt #huroncounty

Heres my best friend Lynn(and Daisy),with her big blue tractor and her barn quilt the Farmers Wife Star. Id like to dedicate this barn quilt to all farm women. These women work tirelessly for their families, our communities while helping run the farm operation. They are Jills of all trades from bookkeeping, picking stones, working ground, planting, harvesting, running for parts, groceries, meals in the fields, and forget the housework-no time, quick run around the gras...s with the lawnmower, pull a few weeds, and pray for rainCovid-19 has been an eye opener on how important it is to support our own and be self sufficient. Our farmers are putting in countless hours making sure we will all be fed this winter. Please support our local farmers, Ontario farmers, Canadian farmers. Buy Canadian. Thank you Lynn for all you do, we appreciate you, all of you farm women, farmers! #barnquilts #obqt #farmer #ontariofarmer #canadianfarmer #shoplocal See more
