There’s a particular kind of freedom found in wide-open skies, freshly turned earth, and the comforting rhythm of hand-painted stars. Our newest design, the Prairie Liberty Barn Quilt, is a tribute to that quiet power—where heritage, hope, and home come together in color and form.   Painted in rich reds, blues, and weathered whites from our Prairie Paint Collection, this design evokes the spirit of American folk art with a timeless eight-pointed star that radiates warmth and strength. Whether displayed on a barn, porch, or wall, Prairie Liberty reminds us of what truly matters—rooted hearts, free hands, and the beauty we create...

This newest cross-stitch in our Wilde Bloem Collection is a tribute to one of nature’s most humble and hopeful symbols—the wild clover. Inspired by a walk through the meadow above the lake at our family farm in New York, the Wilde Clover design captures the quiet beauty found at your feet—the little things we sometimes overlook. Designed as a quilt, a barn quilt, an embroidery, and now a cross-stitch, this pattern features layered greens and pinks from our Prairie Paints, including the soft and verdant Clover Creek. The pattern comes as a full color mailable pattern or  downloadable PDF.  The Wilde Clover Kit...

Some symbols are chosen. Others choose us.   In 1838, John J. Lyke bought a piece of land covered in tall purple thistles after his blind father-in-law declared, “Any land that can grow thistles this big is good land.” That land became the Lyke Homestead in Steuben County, NY—a place where generations lived, farmed, and passed down a legacy of strength. The Thistle Place Barn Quilt was created to honor that story. It’s more than a design—it’s our family crest. Each room in the original farmhouse, and in my Utah home, has a carved or painted thistle—a quiet reminder that no matter where we...
