Every Barn Tells a Story

It was just a little over a year ago that Diane Entrikin and I envisioned a book about quilt barns on the Quilt Trail. We knew we wanted more than a quilting book though, so we added interesting barn owner stories along with instructions to make 20 quilt blocks that we incorporated into two unique sampler quilts. Then we added 10 exciting projects -- small quilts, table toppers, apron patterns, embroidered and appliqued dishtowels, a barn cross stitch design, a couple recipes, and even directions on how to paint a barn quilt. (By the way, you don't have to own a barn to have a barn quilt.)

We were thrilled when Quilt Trail visionary Donna Sue Groves honored us by writing the book preface. From an interview with Donna Sue, we wrote an article about how she started it all 10 years ago.

Long time quilter Mary Deeney, Mary Deeney Designs (www.marydeeneydesigns.com)commented: "It's been a long time since I've seen a quilt book like this." Another quilter said: "You could quilt for years and years out of this book." We know you would enjoy Every Barn Tells a Story, too.
