Homesteader’s Star Barn Quilt

Our Homesteader’s Star is a piece of American history as a tribute to the homesteaders who dreamed of open land, farms and flocks and of course family and community.  My own ancestors were a part of the homesteaders and I love their stories of taking one square piece of land and turning into their own.

The single square in the center represents the blank square of land they were given and the iron gate points symbolize the black and white pictures and stories they left for us.

This barn quilt is hand painted on reclaimed wood and framed in a wide cedar distressed frame.  Hand painted in Prairie Paints and distressed beautifully to symbolize it's history.
