This quilt barn was built in circa 1880. Bear tracks in the corner of the quilt board refer to the frequent visits of a bear while the centre motif celebrates a wedding and the restoration work that took place in preparation for the soon to be newlyweds.

Very appealing!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt board is fascinating. And, that's a lovely old barn.
ReplyDelete...andy, you struck gold with this one!
ReplyDeleteNice one, Andy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for explaining the meaning of the quilt pattern. These patterns look great on barns, and I can see a new door on this barn. May it last another 140 years.
ReplyDeleteA beauty!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fine barn-- beautifully caught. And to answer your question, yes--- the valley below the mountain was awash in the debris from the explosion which took the top third of the mountain off. Not Lava, just ash and dirt--- much of it turned to mud when it hit Spirit Lake. A wall of mud came down the Toutle River to the Cowlitz River, and finally to the Columbia River. Ship traffic was stopped on the Columbia until dredging could clear the lanes. Lava flows are more commonly seen from Oregon volcanos.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of a quilt board but it looks very nice and with that explaining of the symbols twice. Hope it will stand for another 140 years indeed.
ReplyDeleteWell my it does look good and it's pleasing it's been restored somewhat.
ReplyDeleteAnother great looking barn with a stone foundation!
ReplyDeleteNice old barn with good info in the writing.
