The moon is especially wonderful. What fun to have your barn included in a traveling exhibit with the other barns, too.<br /><br />I was born and raised to age 11 in Memphis, went to nursing school there, married, and stayed for another 15 years! Love that pork barbecue and the Mighty Mississippi River. Be sure to visit The Women's Exchange on Racine St. for lunch and perhaps a bit of shopping.<br /><br />Hugs!Barbara Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-41556183036514072982016-05-12T17:02:09.312-04:002016-05-12T17:02:09.312-04:00The striped siding on your barn is perfect! Well ...The striped siding on your barn is perfect! Well worth the pain it may have caused in the construction process... I spent my tween and teen years in the country with sheep, horses and pigs. The barn was a haven while I was growing up. I have often thought of doing a "geography of my life" type of quilt with the houses and barns I remember, hopefully the book will provide the techniques and tools I need! ksb (dot) scott at gmail (dot) comKat Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608865758184344881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-14555689834074184942016-05-12T13:57:19.297-04:002016-05-12T13:57:19.297-04:00Love your barn!Love your barn!swoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072848652991759330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-64632963514461172172016-05-12T09:27:29.516-04:002016-05-12T09:27:29.516-04:00Oh your barn is so amazing!

I love barns and am saddened to see so many of them setting idle. We have so many family memories that were made inside the walls of our barn. Our 5 children learned many life lessons in this enormous structure. Hopefully it will stand for generations to come.Love reading your words of wisdom!<br />Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360440994102803940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-77041043689343138522016-05-12T07:23:19.600-04:002016-05-12T07:23:19.600-04:00Great Quilt from your incredible photo.

I spent many happy summers on my grandparents farms and I have taken some photos over the years of barns. My school kids have a barn center where they can build a barn completely with a little silo . Love seeing the quilt blocks hanging on barns around the US. Not sure if you would find the blocks in Canada but maybe some day. <br />I am sure it will be a lovely showing of barn quilts. <br />Warmest regards, Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-65992703781135779952016-05-11T16:27:01.826-04:002016-05-11T16:27:01.826-04:00One of my cherished memories is being inside old b...One of my cherished memories is being inside old barns in the farmlands of western MI.

I'm a suburbanite, not a farm kid, so I didn't grow up around barns. What I recall very clearly is an early-morning walk at the Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, seeing a barn filled with drying tobacco. It turns a beautiful golden color. (Why is it that such a pernicious plant is so esthetically attractive?)
