I haven't used this stamp in a long time, but it's called Quilt Barn and it's from Rubber Cottage. I bought it at a little stamp store near Lancaster called the "Rubber Buggy" that sadly closed several years ago. (You can still find this stamp on their website.) The store owner carried a huge line of Amish-related stamps and I had to have this stamp the minute I laid eyes on it. I thought of this stamp as soon as I saw the
MFP Speedy Fox & Friends challenge #153 to use the letter "A" either in your image, or your sentiment. I consider this to be an Amish quilt, since they used to paint quilt designs on their barns. I omitted the sentiment because I don't think this needs one. I tied a simple piece of ribbon around the bottom just to add a bit of interest.
Thanks for stopping by today, and I wish you all a wonderful week!

Wow! Carol, this is simply awesome!! Your coloring is gorgeous and am glad you didn't add a sentiment to take away from its beauty. So pretty.

This needs a frame, Carol!!
Beautiful card, Carol!
Carol, this one is phenomenal! I love your coloring job. I got a history lesson also with your post today. I never knew the Amish painted designs on their barns. I really think a sentiment would have taken away they eye away from this piece, so I think you made the right decision to leave it off. The ribbon is the perfect little touch. Talk to you soon.
That is such a great stamp, Carol! Fantastic design! You know how I love scenes.
Oh WOW, this is gorgeous, Carol! Love the image and your coloring! I love anything Amish and your card is no exception! Nice job!!!!
