Jackie learned about the Barn Quilt Tour while attending a festival at Boone’s Lick State Historic Site with her mother. “I was just enthralled with it. I think it’s a really neat thing,” she says. She chose the Harvest Star pattern because she and her husband live on his family’s farm, and it felt like an appropriate choice.

Stained Glass was chosen because the owner is a devout Christian.

Amy says she has enjoyed being part of the Barn Quilt Tour. They chose the Liberty Star pattern because it was her favorite of the ones they were given to pick from. “It’s really pretty when you come down the hill and see it,” she says. “We’ve had a lot of compliments on it.”

David Wessing 7260 Hwy. 135, Pilot Grove (Pleasant Green)

Avery and Tammy Goehman 6571 Hwy. 135, Pilot Grove

Virgil and Dolores Stegner 10999 Hwy. 135, Pilot Grove

The Sunflower pattern was chosen because the family grows sunflowers.

David likes this pattern in honor of his mother, Katie Wessing, his daughter, and his three beautiful granddaughters.

With two other barn quilt blocks within three miles, Dolores says she was more than happy to add her barn to the tour. “I’m associated with the group that organizes it, and I’ve done a little bit of the tours,” she says. “I look for them every time I drive around the country.” She chose Overall Sam because the young fisherman is representative of her three sons.
