Welcome to the

Well Dressed Barn

An avid quilter at heart, my journey into the world of barn quilts began while exploring the beautiful Shawano County Barn Quilt Trail. Inspired by the vibrant artistry and the stories behind each design, I started my own project: a series of four quilt panels proudly displayed on our barn facing US Highway 2.

What began as a personal passion quickly grew into a community project. After being invited to lead a workshop, I discovered just how eager others were to learn about barn quilts. Over the past eight years and 20+ workshops, I’ve had the joy of sharing this unique art form with so many others.

Now, I’m excited to announce the launch of The Well Dressed Barn online — your new destination for barn quilt patterns, painting techniques, project inspiration, and virtual workshops.

A large white barn with a curved roof and a quilt square design featuring blue flowers and green leaves on the front, commemorating Clinton County's bicentennial. It sits on a slight grassy hill, with a winding driveway leading up to it, bordered by bare trees. Adjacent to the barn is a smaller attached structure with a dark roof and garage door. The sky is overcast, giving the scene a calm and muted appearance.
