No Comments The Barnyard Ladies Quilt Patterns
As a fairly recent transplant from big city to wide open country, I just love the look of the Barnyard Ladies Quilt Patterns by Sue Pritt of Sweet Season Quilts. Like the Painted Ladies and the Shop Ladies series, the Barnyard Ladies are individual quilts but they are designed to connect to form larger wallhangings. Make just one, or connect two, three or all four to suit yourself.
The Buggy Barn is framed by bigger than life sunflowers. The barn itself houses an antique buggy, a “two-wheeler” and is topped by a cupula. A collie sits patiently out front, waiting for a ride in the country.
The Quilt Loft belongs on the Barn Quilt tour with it’s star block hanging just below the peak of the barn. A treadle machine holds a WIP while baby lambs spin their own wool. Morning glories climb in the foreground. Wouldn’t you just love to sew here?
It looks like the rooster is scolding the horse for even thinking about sampling the apples that sit in front of the Country Stable. The hens are upstairs, busy chatting away instead of laying their eggs. All this fronted by beautiful pink hollyhocks.
The Milk Shed houses more than just cows. The barn kitty is enjoying the view from the hayloft and way up top the crows are nesting. Geese are parading in front of the cows, and the cows are eyeing the corn, which looks about ready for harvest.
All of these quilts include regular piecing, applique and paper piecing. The instructions are very detailed and very clear. The barnyard scenes will come to life in front of your eyes. You can choose the line-up you like best and you can swap the flowers amongst the barnyards. Have fun!
