cross stitch display

I was enamored with this cute cross stitch display at the A G Thompson House.  The contrast of black and white samples on white shelves and burgundy walls made me want to pick up a thread & needle to create something similar for my own home.  Wouldn't this be a great way of re purposing  dish towels that have seen better days? 

I Spy...another barn quilt!

How delighted I was at catching glimpse of another barn quilt while driving home from work last Friday!  I suspect this barn was just repainted.  It seemed brighter than usual and that's what initially caught my eye.  Love the design!!!

This is becoming bit of a hunt for the bubby & I.  Whether we are driving or biking, we always keep an eye out for more quilts!
Enjoy what remains of your summer my friends.
