Happy Holidays from the members of Barn Quilts of Lafayette County! We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas.
The Norwegian Flag design was chosen to honor the family heritage as Robert and Peggy's grandparents came from Norway.
The block pattern was selected after much searching online for the "right" square. We wanted to incorporate the Swiss flag into the block. We named the block "Swiss Family Ubersox" to honor our Swiss descendants. The block was a Mother's Day gift in 2010 from daughter Sara and her husband, John Gleason. John's sister, Julie Anderson of Scales Mound, IL painted the block.
The barn quilt design was chosen because their grandmother made a double wedding band quilt for them when they got married in 1971.
The Farmer's Daughter design was designed color-wise by the Argyle High School Art Department.
