NEED INFORMATION
#51
Just my opinion--but it's better to talk to someone who can field questions as you go along than to grab a site from Google. I have seen hundreds of barn quilts, some made well which will withstand weather and time and some not. In any case, I'm glad to help; do get in touch if you like.

Welcome from Kansas! I didn't realize Barn Quilts was such a big topic. I don't think we have many around here. Although this is a big farming area, it seems to me alot of the buildings are the big metal buildings rather than the typical 'barn'. Or maybe I just am not looking around as much as I should!?!? :shock:

Hi from another Iowan. I think the barn quilts look fabulous. A friend of mine recently retired from teaching art and now makes barn quilts for people. She says that she gets the boards from Hobby Lobby and that they're somewhat pricey, but isn't everything. I think the extension office would be a good place to start looking for information. I hope you can send us a picture when you get it done and up. Good Luck
