The problem with having an old barn and a creative wife is that eventually there is bound to be more work for me! Several months ago she decided to use some old barn wood and make a “logo” for the farm. Unfortunately, she had no idea how to get the five and a half foot, hundred pound plus monster fifteen feet up onto the side of the barn… she figured that was not her problem…
After letting it sit there as long as I could, my son-in-law came to town and she put it on our to-do list…
I figured if I could pull down a 60 foot tree, I might be able to use some of the same equipment to pull up a piece of artwork…
The design is a quilting pattern called “flying geese”. Soon after we bought the farm we noticed that geese regularly flew over the property, singing their song, as they went to a nearby pond. It seemed appropriate!
I’m glad that’s over with!
Wait, Jeanie quilted with wood? This is taking creativity to an entirely new level. I love it and it is beautiful, but that looks like a LOT of work!! Well done, both of you!
It is based on a quilting block pattern but done with old wood from one of our falling apart barns. I did it in all my free time 😂 in the winter months when I couldn’t do anything outside and I had a great workshop set up with all my saws in the master bedroom
Super cute and love the meaning behind it!
