I found another barn to photograph a quilt on. I love taking photos of old barns and what better reason to get out and do so, than photographing a quilt completion. This barn is SPECTACULAR!
Barns absolutely dwarf my quilts, but this is my favorite shot! I always ask permission and sometimes I meet the nicest people. This morning, I knew exactly which barn I wanted, and the farmer was very hospitable. He said take all the pictures you want. While I was doing so, he came out and chatted and opened a door for me, should I want to go inside. I only took a half-step in, because it is very old, and no longer used except as a home by a flighty flock of pigeons. His daughter-in-law also came and chatted, then the old guy came back and gave me some fresh picked tomatoes. Here is the close-up. If you click on the photo, it will enlarge, so you can see more of the details. Meanwhile, I took these photos on August 16, but I cannot "post" this until Elverta's birthday. It is a gift for her 80th. Her daughter arranged the "dye party' and she and Elverta's grandson each made a block for the quilt. The rest of the blocks were made by the other five ladies in the Cloverdale Ladies Society.
