The Hens and Chicks Barn Quilt is a tender symbol of love and home, inspired by the gentle rhythm of farm life. Half-square wings gather the chicks close, while the rail blocks form a safe and centered nest. Painted in warm, nostalgic tones from the Prairie Paint Collection — Honeycomb, Asparagus Patch, Maple Sap, Homestead, and Sodus Point — this design brings the comfort of belonging to any space.

As the trees turn and the air grows crisp, I find myself reaching for warm paints, cozy stitches, and colors that reflect the richness of this season. This weekend feels like the perfect time to share something bright and new — the Carpenter Rainbow Star Barn Quilt.

There’s something about fall that makes me want to gather people together. Maybe it’s the golden light on the mountains, the turning of leaves, or the way autumn seems to invite us indoors with stories and craft.

We’re so excited to kick off our annual Red White & Blue Sale, one of our favorite traditions of the summer. Now through Sunday, enjoy 20% off everything in our shop — from barn quilt kits and patterns to our Prairie Paints and finishing waxes. It’s the perfect time to start a new creative project or add to your collection of folk-art inspired designs.

There are some designs that feel like a story waiting to be told — and Pricilla’s Star is one of them. Rooted in the folk-art traditions I hold close, this barn quilt brings together joyful color, symmetry, and the heart of a woman’s hands.
