This was one of the first few blocks I made for the 52 Tuesdays quilt. It seemed like a good idea to get a photo of the quilt with the subject that inspired this image in the background.
It was a dreary day, even drizzling cold rain, as I propped the quilt on a swing in front of the building. The hayrake and bicycle wouldn’t be included in this photo shoot, but a warm fire beckoned us inside for a few more photos.
Becky, the owner of the Farm House, was gracious as always to allow us to pose the quilt and shoot a few images.
Having a quilt in tow is a bit like carrying a baby with you, or a cute puppy. Conversations are easy! Everyone, at least in the south, has a quilt story to share. It often starts off with “my grandmother…”. I love hearing those stories.
Judy, who works at The Farm House, said seeing 52 Tuesdays triggered fond memories of her grandmother’s quilts. That’s another reason for dragging my quilts around all over the place.
Other photo shoots at The Farm House are described in these posts:
Seven Black Birds (in the photo above).
The Farmhouse (with several quilts shown and featuring Jim’s post-processing skills).
Christmas Quilts on the Farm (interior and exterior quilt poses of Christmas quilts).
