If you are in downtown Banner Elk, swing by the Town Hall and see my Blue Ridge Spruce original 4x4 barn quilt design. I've donated it to the Town and you can find it on the backside of the building facing the Tate-Evans Town Park, Thank you to the kind folks in the Town's maintenance department for volunteering to add the beautiful handmade frame!

This past summer, I was honored to be asked to paint a replica of a 4x4 barn quilt located in the Shulls Farm community. Scan the QR code for a map to see the result in person. Thank you, Klein family, for this privilege!
