Lady in Red


I stopped and snapped this red barn on the
way to the Dutch Bakery Saturday.  Is that a quilt
block I see high above the doors?  We do have
quite a few "quilt barns" in this area.  
This is a newer barn but I think it's charming
all decked out in red and a bit of white.
 
Linking to Tricia's

Until next time...

  3. That is cute enough to live in. A fantasy of mine was always to redo an old barn into a house. This one would not take much redoing.

  5. I FINALLY saw a quilt barn and did NOT have my camera handy What a disappointment. They are not common in this area....actually, they are nonexistent. Love this one. It is so pretty and the quilt adds that special touch. genie

  7. I like that someone has added the quilt to this barn. I have never seen quilt barns here in Ontario...so I'm a tad jealous. :)

  11. I don't think I've ever seen a quilt block on a barn before. I've seen the various hex signs. This barns looks like it's been kept up pretty good which is nice! Hope you have a great day Cheryl!

  12. Perhaps it's just me... but I think that red is the most perfect color for a barn!

    Love that barn quilt too.
    One day, I hope to have a barn quilt on both of our barns :)

    Have a wonderful day!

  30. I love the quilt block on the barn! There is a whole blog about "Barn Quilts" that I follow. (I think it's over on my sidebar.) I just love them, and would love to see some in real life.

  33. I think I'm partial to barns. I notice them above all. Last summer when I drove through most of Iowa, I saw many quilt barns.
