Bonnie's Barn Comes Home

 I've written about this piece here and here, so I'm not going to go into a lot of details now. Suffice it to say that when I was asked to test instructions for making a free form barn, I found a picture on line that reminded me of a night when my sister Bonnie and I were lost in Lancaster County. There was a harvest moon and barns everywhere. I had had a difficult time picking out a picture for a project. My sister had been in a serious automobile accident, and I was more focused on her wellbeing than I was on quilting.

Once she was discharged, I was able to concentrate on my project and when I ran out of fabrics for the field in front of the barn, I went over to Bonnie's house and raided her stash for the little scraps that I needed.

Bonnie's Barn ultimately went on to be exhibited along with the other barns in the series at three shows. And then she came home. And wouldn't you know, the day she arrived was Bonnie's birthday!
