Geneva - Your "barn" block looks great!!!

Barb

Dawn, your quilt is amazing! I'm impressed! Keep on enjoying the process. It will help with the worries.

In 2011 I had a large cancer cut out of my face. (On the left lower cheek.) Ugh! It was horrible. I'm happy to say, you can hardly tell now. Sure there is a scar, but it's not a big deal. I think of it along the lines of my crow's feet and laugh lines. It is proof I'm living my life! I hope all goes well with your husband. I'll send a prayer....

Enjoy your barn blocks everyone! I had a blast making mine. And it looks so cool on the "barn". Please post pictures!

Dawn what a stress for you. Thank goodness you have quilting to keep you sane. The bird is beautiful but so much work!

I wish you both well, you'll make a lovely Frankenstein. There's always trousers or fish net tights. Hope things get better

Wow Dawn!! I LOVE your quilt!!!!
My prayers will be with you as you go through the next months . I am hoping we can meet up sometime this summer

I've been lurking in the background, while staying focused on my Hoffman Challenge. The top is finished, sandwiched, and I am now quilting it on my domestic machine. Around all 500 feathers! And, am totally enjoying the process.........so far! Here is the top, before being sandwiched.



About a month ago, I had a bump show up on my leg (over night!) and as I watched it grow for a week, I became concerned and went to the doctor. She did a biopsy, and long story short it was a skin cancer, and I had a deep chunk if my leg cut out and stitched up. I look like Frankenstien! The stitch line is over 2" long, as sore as he**!

Also, my DH has a nasty procedure/surgery next week that will make him uncomfortable for 3 months. But, the alternative is not an option. He is a very private person, so I cannot give more details than that. But, I worry, about an infection, since that has happened in the past, and I almost lost him from it. AND.........he is a really bad patient!!! I have a feeling there won't be much peace in this house for a couple of weeks!

Geneva I love your Barn Block!
Best wishes to all

Yup they have a quilt / sunshade but they really need a wooden barn block. I've got some paints just need to filch some wood. My husbands always moaning my chicken garden looks like Steptoes yard, I think it looks fun and creative

Lorra show us yours when it's done

Wendy, I thought that you had already made a quilt for your chickens?

Ours will only be a 2 foot square, but that is a better size to transport home in the car. Maybe it will go on my chicken house too.

Wendy, I'm sure your chicks would love their own quilt block for their "barn". It's fun and easy to do.

Cathy, you will have fun. I enjoyed painting this block. Ours is smaller than most quilt barn blocks as we have a shed and not a true barn. Usually they are about 8 feet square. Ours is 3 feet square. A perfect 9 patch size! We have enjoyed driving the back roads of Eastern WA checking out the quilt barns. It's nice to sometimes get off the freeway and slow down a bit.

Thanks to everyone that commented on my quilt barn. It is fun to drive up the driveway and see it!

Wendy, I think your girls would love a hen house quilt block. It might even make them produce more eggs.
Geneva, your block is very pretty. I think at our annual state guild meeting, next spring, we will be offered a class on making the barn blocks. They will have the wood blocks prepped and ready for us to paint. Sounds like fun to me.

Very creative Geneva. I wonder if my chicken run needs a barn block and quilt

Geneva,
Very nice barn quilt.
