It’s Tuesday! It’s Barn Charm!
This is one of the barns from the Washington, Mo trip. Lots of barns on that road! Still slogging around in blue farm boots but now full of cheeseburger and sweet potato fries. Sunburned ears too! Barn Charm is a country kinda adventure. I need to hunt new barns but Tricia’s mention of her encounter with seed ticks has me a little skeered. Off! will be on my shopping list. Summer is going to put a whole new spin on snapping barns. Ticks. I hates them. Barns. I love em!
For other Barns that Charm click below!
I love the quilt block barns! I hate ticks too…and chiggers! They seem to love me though…have to be so careful. This is a great looking barn – I am looking forward to finding that quilt-block barn trail someday!

Good Morning Linda! I have only seen a few quilt blocks on barns and now that I want to take a picture of them I really haven’t seen them! I think I would find more of them up in the Northern part of MissouREE.
April 3, 2012 at 5:43 am
oh this is a good one!
April 3, 2012 at 5:42 am
Thank you Tanya!

Now THAT’s a mighty fine looking barn! Deep rusty red with the quilt blocks – lovely combination! Ticks, chiggers, skeeters, etc. not invited on photo jaunts yet they seem to show up anyway……nasty critters!

Hi Pam (and Sam)! I liked this barn too. It had an awesome house behind it but it is hidden by the trees! Thanks for stopping by

You could make a book of your lovely photos. I have never seen a quilt ding on a barn before. Is it something quite a few people do?
April 3, 2012 at 5:48 am
Yes Isobel quilt blocks on barns in Missouri have started to pop up along with stars on barns. There is a Quilt Trail for barns but I would have to check on it. Not as many as I would like to see! Kind of like Missouri’s wine trails that you follow and sample wine

ticks scare me. yucky!! great shot. (:
April 3, 2012 at 6:42 am
Thanks Beth! Yep, I could do without ticks and chiggers.
April 3, 2012 at 6:58 am
I love your barn series. This is a beauty.
April 3, 2012 at 7:12 am
Thank you Cecelia! Thank for your visit
Glad you are feeling better 
April 3, 2012 at 7:22 am
BEAUTIFUL!! But my mind is on the sweet potato fries!!
I am planning a trip to MO in June to visit some friends in Waynesville. I hope to get some great photos!!
April 3, 2012 at 8:34 am
I understand about the sweet potato fries! Best sweet potato fries in MO are at Beks in Fulton
I am betting you will find some wonderful photos on your trip!
April 4, 2012 at 12:46 am
Beautiful! Ticks and chiggers, yuck!
April 3, 2012 at 9:04 am
Ticks are creepy. Glad to hear you all are OK!
April 4, 2012 at 12:43 am
that is a gorgeous one!!! well worth any tick attacks…
April 3, 2012 at 9:17 am
Thank you Tex! Glad to hear you are safe and sound!
April 4, 2012 at 12:42 am
They’re definitely no fun! But I just love the barns we get out of the experience, this one included… what a beauty & so red!
Thanks so much for pointing Veronica in our direction, much appreciated…
don’t forget the OFF! heheheee =)
April 3, 2012 at 11:13 am
Your welcome about Veronica, I love her pictures and I noticed she had a lot of barns so Barn Charm popped in my mind! I will brave the ticks for barn hunting, it will be the heat that gets the best of me. She really was that red, well pretty close.
She had just gotten a new coat of paint.
April 4, 2012 at 12:41 am
Wow a bright red barn with 2 quilt patterns. Love it.
Thanks for visiting and your nice comments.
April 3, 2012 at 11:32 am
Hello Barb! SomeBODY had just put a fresh coat of paint on her. I enjoyed my visit to your Barn Charm post!
April 4, 2012 at 12:36 am
I love barns too. Those with quilts are especially nice. This one really has charm. Nasty old ticks – be careful!
April 3, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Hi Rae! The tick factor is going to mess with my barn hunting. Heat doesn’t help either!
April 4, 2012 at 12:34 am
Gorgeous barn Pix! Love the beautiful quilt blocks, but hate ticks and chiggers. Got to get some small critter repellent this weekend… thank you for the reminder!
April 3, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Stocking up on Deep Woods Off! CH has already had two ticks. I love the quilt blocks too. Thanks for stopping by Theresa! I can’t believe I am still up. Heading to bed as soon as I finish up comments!
April 4, 2012 at 12:33 am
What a sweet barn. I love the effects you added.
The ticks are definitely out in full force already. So far I’ve only encountered the full size ones, which I can handle. Seed ticks are an entirely different story.
April 3, 2012 at 2:20 pm
Seed ticks creep me out! Thank you on the good words about the barn. Someone had just painted her!
April 4, 2012 at 12:29 am
This one has tons of charm Pix. It says “hey come on in, I am glad to see ya”
April 3, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Good Morning Christina! I think so too. Definitely a happy barn and someBODY cared enough to put a fresh coat of paint on her!
April 4, 2012 at 12:28 am
Charming place Pix. Love the post title as captures and a few words always work for me! Man Pix, with this unseasonably warm weather, I would guess everything insecty will be in full force this summer. Everyone will have to pay attention no matter where we live. Eek! Margie
April 3, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Yep it is going to be riotous with bugs this summer! I don’t want to even think about the Japanese Beetles on our Crape/Crepe Myrtles this year. It’s going to be all out war! It won’t be pretty.
April 4, 2012 at 12:26 am
I love when they put those quilt patterns on barns! The ticks make me mad! I’m afraid they will be bad this year because of the warm winter, I’ll be stocking up on bug repellent too !!!!!
April 3, 2012 at 6:46 pm
Hi! I would like to find more barns with quilt blocks but so far no luck. ALL the bugs are going to be bad. We already have tent catepillars working! Now they make me mad!!
April 4, 2012 at 12:19 am
Gorgeous shot! Really nice barn!
April 3, 2012 at 11:17 pm
Thank you Brian! Thanks for the visit to Under the Oaks
You had a very cool barn for Barn Charm!
April 4, 2012 at 12:12 am
Love this barn. The quilt patterns look great on there. What could be more perfect? Life without bugs, that’s for sure!
April 4, 2012 at 12:18 am
I am tired of bugs already and summer hasn’t even got going yet! The house behind the barn was cool too. This barn was loved!
April 4, 2012 at 12:48 am
I really enjoy the quilt block barns, they’re like blocks of cheer doting the landscape.
I have ticks too… gross little creepies they are.
April 4, 2012 at 4:11 am
I never thought of them like that! You have quilt block barns where you are? It is hard for me to find them here, I think I would have to go to the Northern part of the state. Road Trip!
April 4, 2012 at 9:09 am
This is a fine barn you’ve posted today. I like the decorations on this one. I have yet to find a barn around here with decoration of that kind.
April 4, 2012 at 9:53 am
Good Morning Don! I have found the quilt block barns to be few and far between. Might be I am not looking in the right area of MissouREE. Thank you so much for your visit to Under the Oaks. I enjoyed my visit to your blog, but when I went back this morning I could not find your barn post from yesterday. Maybe I just wasn’t awake enough!
April 4, 2012 at 10:20 am
9 out of 10 readers agree . . . they love Pix’s barn charm pics . . . but don’t want her getting bit by ticks.
Keep that off handy!
April 4, 2012 at 11:42 am
No problem there!
April 5, 2012 at 7:07 am
This red barn is a beauty, Pix! Love the quilt blocks on the barn, I don’t remember seeing one with 2 blocks…neat! I’m a bit slow at blogging/commenting this week and I need to make time to go on a “barn run”. Enjoy your day!
April 4, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Thank you Cheryl! Enjoy your barn hunt.
April 5, 2012 at 7:09 am
Pretty barn shot. You’re right about dodging the ticks….and other critters this summer while we “shoot” barns.
April 4, 2012 at 9:25 pm
Yep, it just sort of hit me since I started Barn Charm
April 5, 2012 at 7:08 am
Loved the warmness in it. Great photo.
April 4, 2012 at 11:07 pm
Thank you!
April 5, 2012 at 7:00 am
ticks are bad,
clicks are good.
this is a beautiful barn! thanks for sharing.
April 5, 2012 at 1:27 am
Thank you Kris!
April 5, 2012 at 7:10 am
Just simply love it!
April 5, 2012 at 7:10 pm
Thank you so much!
April 6, 2012 at 5:05 am
I love barn charm
Makes me wish we have barns over here!
April 6, 2012 at 10:09 am
I love Barn Charm too!!!
April 7, 2012 at 7:53 am
Lovely barn. Love the ‘quilt’ signs.
Funny, we were down at the coast yesterday (Oregon) and in a town that we visit quite frequently, many of the buildings now sport a quilt plaque on their sides. Some are barns, some are simply businesses. There is a textile museum in the area so we assume they are supporters, but don’t as yet know the entire story.
April 8, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Thank you! I love the quilts too, wish I could find more of them. I am trying to talk CH into painting a quilt block on our workshop but I don’t think it would hold the same charm.
Thank you for stopping by!
April 9, 2012 at 6:19 am
No exaggeration, your barn pictures make me gasp every time I click on to here.
I have to ask (because barns or quilts are not part of our tradition), is there a special symbolism to having a quilt patch/block on one’s barn? or is it simply for decoration?
April 17, 2012 at 10:19 am
Yes and yes
I think for some people their quilts that they paint are from a family heritage and others just pick a quilt block or patch because it suits them. There is a real trend in Missouri right now to add a quilt block to your barn. Stars were the thing for quite a bit and you still see them. I would love to hear from someone that knows more about the quilts or from someone who has a quilt block on their barn.
April 17, 2012 at 10:39 am
I love the idea of heritage quilt patterns painted on a barn. It shows pride of both place and family.
