Our day began bright and early. The tour is about 2+ hours from where we live so we had plenty of time to chat and get to know each other better. On our way to the tour we stopped at the Spruce Forest Artisan Village. The buildings are all old cabins that have been restored and relocated to this village.
We quickly enjoyed the beauty of the village - going in a few of the shops to watch the artists at work.
From there we made a quick stop in Grantsville, MD at the Four Seasons Stitchery Quilt Shop - we couldn't pass up that opportunity! Everyone there was so friendly :o)
Then we began our tour of the barn quilts. I'll just leave you to enjoy the beauty of the countryside and the barns and see you at the end of the tour!
Now that you've seen these great barn quilts are you interested in making your own? If so, check out this informative article.
We didn't see all of the barn quilts in Garrett County - just those clustered together. This leaves us with the opportunity to go again and finish the tour. It was such a great day! I highly recommend filling up your car with friends and heading out on a barn quilt tour!

I'd love to hear if you've done a tour where you live - or, which of these barn quilts is your favorite?
Very fun! I love quilt barns! There's a trail in E. WA that we've seen parts of and we've really enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun trip and such a cool idea! I will have to find out if we have enough barns in my area to make a trip. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to go as a group to visit the barn quilts, but unfortunately we don't have any here, so it would be a very long journey to see them.
ReplyDeletehow fun to spend the day with quilty friends on a road trip. The barn tours (two that I found in my search) are pretty far from where live so I haven't made it out.
ReplyDeleteThose are some fancy barn quilts! So much fun! Thanks for sharing your photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat A Very Fine Idea. Thanks For Sharing Pictures Of Your Trip.
