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.
This family farms a beef feedlot, cash crop and small sheep herd operation. This barn quilt was inspired by her Grandma. It's a tribute to her love of quilting and that she like to sew and stitch for hours on end and had created some beautiful masterpieces for her children and grand children. They will be cherished for many years to come. Traditional patch work quilt pattern like that of Wyoming Valley Star and the colours were represent life on the farm. Red barns and green and golden crops.
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
