I have always liked looking out for these barn quilts while out for a drive or caching along the back roads, it kind of makes the drive a little more pleasant in
HURON COUNTY.
Over the past ten years or so the family have had many highs and lows in their life as well as changes to the farm. They have been wanting to make up a barn quilt for many years and when the IPM came along it was the right motivation to make it happen. Not knowing that it wouldn't be that easy to come up with a design and then the colour scheme, which could be endless. But, with the help from mom and a shed, it had become a fun project for many hours with the designing and painting. This was called “All Roads Lead Home” as the name of the quilt because it is a reminder that no matter where life takes us, we can always come home. They hope that this phrase resonates with family and friends for many years ahead. The quilt is and will be one of the many memories that will remind them and hopefully passerby's.
IPM 2017 is where the barn quilt craze mainly started in Huron County as a contest.
Barn quilts originally started there roots in Ohio.
Barn quilts tell stories.
The proper size for a barn quilt is 8'x8'.
They draw motorists to our rural highways, roads that have many stories to tell.
Barn Quilts are rural graffiti – civic art about sacred places, battlefields, and historic locations.
Cache is located by a deep ditch.
As usual always WATCH YOUR STEP, CAN BE A BUSY ROAD, WATCH FOR TRAFFIC.
PLEASE DO NOT FIND this cache at night - the placement is contingent on finds OCCURRING DURING THE DAY.
ABSOLUTELY NO NIGHT CACHING, RESPECT THE NEARBY HOMEOWNERS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH QUITE A FEW OF THEM AND ASSURED THEM THAT THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN.
Happy Caching
