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.
The IPM 2017 had brought a lot of excitement and letting those from Huron County to show their talents. This barn quilt is placed on a 100 acre farm that they started back in 1973. Since then their family grew, operated a swine operation and a variety of crops. Her passion for sewing and quilting inspired the design, the quilt block representing food, family, friends and comfort. They had made a family day out of it while installing the Quilt with their kids and grandkids.
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
