We meant to, but didn't get around to it. I've read about the history and beauty to be found there like what you showed and told us about that beautiful brick home.<br /><br />We do have barns with quilts painted on them here in southeastern Ohio. There was a project about 10 years or so ago involving these painted quilts. There was even a road tour of the various barns. They're still around today and still lovely.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783056492527420487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-64925358877687212922011-08-23T21:02:11.438-04:002011-08-23T21:02:11.438-04:00I really like the pattern on that barn.I really like the pattern on that barn.Bruce Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04045274891568298471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-71287938364021807982011-08-23T16:53:29.679-04:002011-08-23T16:53:29.679-04:00We don't have any quilt barns around here that...We don't have any quilt barns around here that I know of...beautiful!Rutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356170000565572994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-62998657813229015872011-08-23T10:12:08.753-04:002011-08-23T10:12:08.753-04:00that certainly IS a wide load!

They're great!<br />Thanks so much for sharing this one.<br />Can you imagine a horse & wagon path instead of highways? So neat! That must have been a pretty small house w/o the additions, even tho there's an upstairs.... wonder where the kitchen was. These old homes & barns are so very interesting to me & I'd love to explore them<br /><br />Thanks, Lois =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-30697830956732812122011-08-22T22:15:53.465-04:002011-08-22T22:15:53.465-04:00That is beautiful!

Bricks were not readily available when these areas were settled so the barns are made of lumber. In fact, many were built during community social events when nearby farmers and their families would come to a "barn raising" to help raise or build a neighbor's barn in a very short period of time. Barns were also the center of other community events such as barn dances, community meetings, etc.<br /><br />Sherry, Yes, those quilt barns are fairly new - they seem to appear as the Rock City and Mail Pouch barns disappear.<br /><br />Marit, the patterns on the barns are painted on. <br /><br />Thanks for all the nice comments on the new header. Penny and Erik are our canine athletes. :)<br /><br />All the best,<br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-6739710815191782402011-08-16T09:41:50.111-04:002011-08-16T09:41:50.111-04:00I've been seeing more of the quilt barns aroun...I've been seeing more of the quilt barns around here lately.
