Old Farmhouse & A Quilt Reveal

Welcome to this Thursday Doors on a Saturday. Had some business to take care of before I could share with you this weekend. You’ll see that in a minute. But first, Ron & I made a little country drive in between snows. Was nice to get out and see the countryside together.

Regardless how I tried zooming in or cropping, those doors are hard to see. I’m pretty sure the lower door is a piece of plywood. But I believe the upper door is still there, weathered and darkened with age.

There’s a wedding today. With Ron’s low immunity, we cannot attend. But I’m thankful for a very supportive family. In fact, they let me crash the end of their rehearsal dinner last night so I could hand deliver my gift. I got to see the inside of the venue too. So it made a lovely backdrop for the photos I’m able to share with you today.

Dug deep into my stash for this one. I found some camou fabric as they both love to hunt, a little piece of wine fabric for one block to acknowledge Anna’s wine appreciation, and a BBQ fabric to give a nod to Aaron’s talent for smoking meats. Got as close to a Hunter green with the border as I dared with today’s color trends as Aaron is the spitting image of my grandfather. The Hunter genes run deep. But mainly I’m just very happy they loved it. Goal accomplished.

  1. I love old houses. Imagine its history and people who lived there. Too bad people don’t care about them. It’s the same everywhere I think. Gorgeous quilt! Their faces say it all; they love it!

The challenge is called Thursday Doors and it is designed to encourage writers to craft a piece based on a particular image. The image Darlene chose for her own challenge piece  – House Of Broken Dreams – is an evocative photograph of an abandoned homestead, captured by photographer Katy Trail Creations. […]
