Thanks for the welcome, Mari. My friend, Barb (Barbara S./IL) told me last week about this group and after seeing the barn she made I decided that I really wanted to make one myself. Everything is ordere and I'll start trying to catch up as soon as the mailman brings them to my door. My mailperson (I live in the country) is a quilter and when she sees a package that might be quilt related she will drive right up to my door to deliver it personally in the hopes that I will open it right then and share it with her.
Hi Mari-You're right this is a fun & cute pattern-I've read all the way through and I have my materials, but now I've run short of time. I am enjoying all the comments and finally seeing Lou Ann's first block. Since I can't really contribute I'm just staying mum for the time being & I'll just jump in when my life slows down! Thank you for offering it to us as a quilt along!!
