12. Bear Paw

13. Crystal Star

Vernon and Joan Booker 14120 Hwy. F, Boonville

Linda McCollum 18957 Hwy. JJ, Sedalia

Edward Langkop Centennial Farm 6042 Hwy. B, Bunceton

Joan was interested in the barn quilts because she was a quilter. “I have made a number of quilts, and the Log Cabin was one of my favorites,” she says. The Bookers also had a voice in the colors used for their barn quilt block. “We chose the coloring because we have blue roofs and tan sides on our house,” she says.

The family chose Bear Paw because they have a bear statue in their yard. The quilt block was a gift from the couple’s children.

Edward’s wife, Alta Langkop, made a quilt out of their daughter’s, Dolores Langkop Foster, worn clothing using the Crystal Star block pattern.

15. Wedding Ring

16. Sarah’s Choice

Mark and Linda Mellor 13355 Hwy. 5, south of Boonville

Tim and Ann Marie Smith 1 mile east of I-70 off Exit 106 (Hwy. 87)

The Mellors chose the Wedding Ring pattern as a tribute to the late Pat Jackson because it was her favorite. “It just meant a little more because it was for her,” Mark says. “We actually had a Wedding Ring pattern quilt on our bed too, so there was some significance there for both of us.” Pat was a member of the Boonslick Area Tourism Council Board.

Ann Marie Smith says she looked forever before settling on Sarah’s Choice for its patriotic feel. “I had seen the barn quilts and thought they were really, really neat,” she says. “They give people an idea of the history of the area, and I love quilts.”
