judithannequiltz Country Barns Around the Year - I spent many happy days in the barn on my grandparents farm in River Styx, Ohio. Fell in love with this 2003 calendar quilt from Piecemakers. It took me five years to make the quilt. The barns are well traveled, across the USA twice, Hawaii, Canadian Maritimes and many places inbetween. I batted the quilt at Bend on a picnic table. Bad move. Not flat! I used ultra suede for many of the animals and lots of silk ribbon, special threads and beads. When my daughter saw the little pink ultra suede pigs she fell in love with the quilt and asked if she could have it. Well, maybe some day.
