In mid-April, Diane and I went on a travel adventure to Central Iowa in search of quilt barn owner stories for Every Barn Tells a Story. Our first stop was in Humboldt, Iowa where we visited with Horace and Doris Adams. The Adams, who married in 1947, farmed the land that Horace’s grandfather homesteaded in 1869. Horace,age 96, invited us to write on his Facebook wall! Doris, age 87, said that she leaves the "technology stuff" to Horace who also enjoys his antique cars - - a Woody and a Model A. Horace and Doris' barn quilt, Corn and Beans, was painted for them by a local 4H group. They were thrilled when they saw that that block was painted in John Deere colors.
