Drawing for the Day

Here is yesterday's "Drawing of the Day" 


Barn Quilts for Sale

Here are some pre-designed 2'x2' barn quilts that are for sale. They are posted for $100, but maybe you know the secret password for the discount?!


























First order!

We did receive an order from our Lands' End farmers market. It may not seem like much, but one is better than none. Here are some sketches I have worked on. More to come!

Everyone has to try

Well everyone, I have made my dad a barn quilt to be hung up on his work building. From there, we decided to take a stab at making more and selling them. Here are some pictures from the wonderful adventure!
First we have to get some paint



Next we have to get some ideas and make some color decisions

Then we paint in the garage, because all successful businesses start in a garage, right?

Displayed these for Farmers Appreciation Day in Dodgeville, WI. Didn't quite get many lookers, but next time!

Here I am setting up and making a bunch of 2'x2' one to show at the Lands' End Farmers Market.

Of course niece and nephew have to help paint! Aunt Heather is awesome.

Wouldn't've been able to do all this without mom!

Though we didn't sell any, we did get a lot of interest. Can't wait to hear from everyone who took a flier. We actually got one order, so I will be posting soon some design ideas for a 2'x2' lighthouse one.

Last display before I take off to Georgia. I will be taking all the 2'x2's with me, but don't be afraid, we still have an office in Wisconsin!

The world is my limit! 













Barn Quilts of Wisconsin!

Today I was driving around my hometown area just looking to see which barns already are displaying barn quilts and which ones might need barn quilts. Here are some I came across:

This home had 3 barn quilts on their property! (Montfort, WI)

Don't have a barn or garage? You don't need one. This family got creative and hung theirs in their yard! (Darlington, WI)

Look at this beautiful work of art. Designed to match their home. Love these colors and design (Dodgeville, WI)
