My appreciation of rural landscapes and the heritage of our American barns began as I grew up in a small farming community in Northern Indiana.  There, my Grandfather raised chickens and farmed an organic garden. My sisters, brother and I spent hours helping Grandpa in the garden but also out in Grandpa's barn playing and exploring.  Yes we built forts in the hayloft! As I got older, I enjoyed traveling, with my family, to see the many covered bridges and the barns throughout Indiana. There are still a few round barns standing in the state.

I attended Purdue University and graduated with a degree in Technical Graphics.  With my education, I worked creating architectural renderings in acrylic and pen & ink for homeowners and builders.

For our home in Columbus, IN, I painted a 50ft. long rural scenic mural on the side of our old horse farm out-building. It included rolling hills, pastures, small villages and a large lake - including a few sailboats. (It took all summer!)

Since 2015, I have been using my artistic and technical drawing skills to create exceptional quality geometric and scenic Barn Quilts. All my American Garden Barn Quilts are hand drawn, handcrafted and hand-painted. You can review the My Process link to see how I create my American Garden Barn Quilts.

Thank you to my many American Garden Barn Quilt customers as I have shipped Barn Quilts throughout the US. ( I use FedEx Ground for shipping).

Feel free to review my Barn Quilts in my Quilt Gallery.  New designs will be updated frequently.  If you have a pattern of your own and would like to discuss your barn quilt design ideas , please visit my Contact page.
