Family Thanksgiving and More Quilt Barns



DH and I visited Ohio again for the Thanksgiving Holiday and also to celebrate my Grandmother's 95th Birthday - I think about what has transpired since she was born in 1912 and wonder if the world will evolve as much in my lifetime.. Happy Birthday Grandma - we love you!!




Cheap tickets 'forced' us to fly to my sisters in Columbus instead of Dayton as we usually do when the gathering is in Indiana. But that is OK as we love being in Columbus with her and her family just as much. On Wednesday - we went to my parents in Dayton for the day and awhile back my sister mentioned she had seen quilt barns on the way to a scouting event along Rt 36. So we took the long way to my folks much to the distress of my nephews, niece and husband - just so I could see the barns - and I was able to add 5 more to my list. All are in Campaign County Ohio - along Route 36.

The interesting thing to me about these barns is the words on the barns as well - I don't think it has anything to do with the quilt blocks - but the words are something I don't recall seeing on other barns as I have traveled through farm country in Ohio and Indiana - Below are pictures of Barns my 4yr old nephew built that afternoon at my parents house - hmmm and we thought we was watching video's in the back seat while we toured the country side.
