Barn Quilts!

Doug and I went to Columbus one day this week for a follow up with the dermatologist.  Our friends Danny and Diane live in Caledonia, which is just outside of Columbus.  There is a very nice quilt trail there.  After the appointment, Danny and Doug went to lunch together with some more friends and customers Doug used to call on, while Diane and I had lunch and hit the quilt trail.  This is actually the second time we've done the quilt trail because we only saw part of them last time even though we saw 43!  This time we saw 23.  I'm so thankful Diane knows her way around because some of them were tricky to find!

It's called the Buttahatchie Barn Quilt Trail and there's a very nice guide that Diane picked up at a flower shop in town.

There have been a lot more added since this brochure was printed.

These are some of my favorites from that day.

This one is on Hank's BBQ restaurant and it's called Getcha Some.

This one was just put up recently so I don't know the name of it but it's on a vet clinic.

This one too is quite new.  It's on a watermelon stand, which was open the last time we drove through but is closed for the season now.  It was originally put up and vandals ripped it off and took it so another one was made.  Sad that someone would do that!

 This one says Dowdle Farm on top and since 1826 8 generations on the bottom.

This one was on an animal sanctuary.

This one is called Eternity Quilt.  I had to practically go onto someone's porch to get this picture!  Doesn't that swing bed look inviting?

This barn had two quilts Patriotic Ohio Star and Star Spangled.

This one is Crazy Chicken Lady, one of my favorites!

Two quilts on this one too, Independence Day and D-Day.  The property was fenced off so I couldn't get a closer picture so the D-Day is especially hard to see.

 This one is called Heavenly Stars.

This one was on a picnic shelter/out building with a little Methodist church and is called Brush Arbor Meeting.

This one is called Amish Card Tricks.

This one is Stars and Stripes.

I didn't find this one in the brochure.  Some of these we just happened to drive by.  They are probably relatively new.

This one, as you can see, is on an equipment shed.

There are still many more that I haven't seen yet so I expect to be making another trip to see Danny and Diane!

Have a nice weekend!
