My Barn Quilt is Finally Up

I was traveling through Western Ontario a few years ago and noticed the art work on many of the barns….”barn quilts”.  I wanted to do one for our barn and last year I made one …I completed it in one week and then there it sat in the garage.  Finally today it went up…David, with the help of my two sons, installed it on the barn. Yeah! 

My true Canadian barn quilt.
