Barn Quilt

 I painted a barn quilt at a class for the front of my house.  My husband hung it for me this afternoon.  It's painted with acrylic exterior paint on top of an aluminum composite board.  It's my 3rd barn quilt.  The others are shown below...

I painted this one at a class held at Cary Quilting Company. It was a one-day class and the teachers, Deanna and Georgia, were outstanding!  Deanna's Delightful Barn Quilt Designs is the company that taught the class. They are located out of Clarkton, NC.  They travel to locations all over the eastern USA and if you have the chance to take a class I highly recommend them.

These are my other 2 barn quilts...

1938 antique quilt

 One of our stops while on vacation over the weekend was in Texas near Austin. We visited my sister-in-law and on display was a quilt from 1938 that she found after her dad died last August.

It’s a quilt made by the members of a quilting bee called the Jolly Home Makers Club from Seligman, Missouri.  My mother-in-law was a member and she was 14 years old. The block above says June Andrews and it’s the block she made for the quilt. It’s a queen size quilt made entirely by hand.

Under my needle

 I'm working on a beautiful quilt this morning, made by Christina S. It's a lovely morning, bright blue skies and sunshine.  We've had quite a few gray days lately, with rain that was badly needed due to our drought in North Carolina.

2026 Durham Orange Quilters Quilt Show

 Over 250 quilts will be shown at the DOQ show this year!  

Under my needle

 I've been longarming quite a few donation quilts for Sleep in Heavenly Peace-Durham.  This quilt is the last one for today.  SHP is a ministry my quilt guild supports.  They build beds for children who don't have a bed to sleep in.  Lowes donates the wood, volunteers make the beds and many people donate quilts, sheet sets, mattresses, etc.  My quilt guild held a quilt drive which will culminate on July 20th at our July guild meeting.

This quilt will soon be making up a bed for a deserving child at the end of this month.

Under my needle

 I have 7 quilts to longarm this week/weekend.  This is the one on my frame today!  It's a lovely Jelly Roll quilt and I'm stitching a design on it called Seamless.

Edit: Saturday, June 20th.  This is the first one on the frame this morning!

I found a fabulous new song, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Double Aster Barn Quilt

 I've always wanted to paint a barn quilt.  When we replaced the siding on our house I decided to put a cheater barn quilt above my front door, only because I didn't have the time to paint a barn quilt.  My plan was to replace the cheater when I was able to paint one of my own.  That day came yesterday!  Cary Quilting Company held a class for painting a barn quilt and I signed up right away.

It was a one-day class and the teachers, Deanna and Georgia, were outstanding!  Deanna's Delightful Barn Quilt Designs is the company that taught the class. They are located out of Clarkton, NC.  They travel to locations all over the eastern USA and if you have the chance to take a class I highly recommend them.
