again with the barns...

Barn #5 came out on Lori's blog last Wednesday, but I just got to it today. It's been a busy week, which included a quick trip back to Ohio for our beautiful niece's wedding (I'd show you how beautiful she was but alas, I left the camera back at the hotel and the iphone pictures were very dark). 

Yesterday I went to the mailbox and found a card from Maria in Australia. Inside the card were all of these wonderful 2 1/2 inch squares to use as windows for my barns! I had a hard time choosing which one to use first!

 In the end, I decided on this silly little ladybug (or lady bird, as our aussie friends would say!)
 I really love making these barns. I had seen lots of them on Flickr with text print roofs and I thought they were so gorgeous, so that's what I chose for this one....
It's good to be back in my sewing room! Thanks for lighting a fire under me, Maria!

Oh, by the way, Friday is our stitchalong day. Is everyone ready for the next pattern?

I think the ladybug is perfect with those polka dots!

OK, I'm totally behind in the blogging department, and I missed the barns too. But this one is awesome. I'm not so into the country thing, but these barns are adorable. One more thing to add to my list! Love the "ladybird" in the window. Nice work!
