Still raising that barn . . .

Six blocks pieced, only 3 more to go!

Someone asked where this pattern's name, 3 Barns, came from.  Carrie named this pattern to commemorate her first trip to Kansas.  There she found three restored barns used to host weddings, retreats and a wonderful quilt show.



I think, since this is the week of Valentine's Day, I"ll blog everyday about something red, are you in?

    Great month for RED sharing! I have a red pieced heart tabble topper on my table this month for Valentine's . By the way, your post about your sewing room inspired me and I have half of my sewing room re-organized. Thanks and hope yours is going well too.

    Wow you're fast. This is coming together quickly and is going to be beautiful, I might add. Never really been in love with "reds" until I met you.

    Inspired by your fabulous (barn)star blocks I cutted my first pieces for that quilt. But I had no time to sew them yet... I love your fabrics and there's some very nice fussy cuts too! Fabulous!!!

    Hi Thelma,
    I'm absoluely compulsive about reading your blog. I've learned so much over the last few years.
    I have questions regarding how you prepare your quilt flimsy and backing for their journey to your quilter? How much pressing, do you wrap everything in tissue paper, or in general what preparations do you make?
    Thanks,
    Pam
