We have painted many beautiful barn quilts in the past but our favorites are always the patriotic ones. You just can’t beat the red, white and blue. So, just in time for July 4th, we had the privilege to hang 3 beauties this past week. The first is called “Sunrise Over An American Farm” and is located at 1009 Flint Hill Road, Caledonia, MS at the home of Linda Glasgow and family. Linda and her husband, Clyde (deceased), raised cattle on their farm. She named this barn quilt and said she knew Clyde would have been so pleased with it. We think he would be too, Linda. Hope you and your family enjoy this addition to your farm.
The second is called “Hay Hay and the USA” and is located at 409 Cherokee Rd, Columbus, MS at the home of Katie Jo and Adam Honsinger. This barn quilt was named after their oldest little boy, Hayden (Hay Hay). The red building, along with the painted windmill, really makes a nice statement and is quite the pretty picture. Welcome to the BBQT!
The third barn quilt is located at the Gilmer Barn located at 5129 Ridge Road, Columbus, MS. This property is owned by the John and Don Gilmer families and is known by most locals as “the old Anna Bell Sims cotton gin site”. The Gilmer families are long time Caledonia farmers and we are so honored to be able to hang this barn quilt named “Proud To Be An American” on this historic local landmark. Thank you for all you do to keep the family farming tradition alive in our community. We thank you for your dedication. Welcome to the BBQT!
