This effected Map testing at Stevenson and many classes are having to reschedule.

📢 District 87 has been experiencing intermittent internet outages due to network changes. This may cause usage errors for District-issued devices used by students.
Teachers are aware and will accommodate due-dates as necessary.
We appreciate your patience!

One of the big reasons I became interested in barn quilts was because of my love for sewing. This Friday night you can find my barn quilts and a few sewn goods (like these felt lightbulb ornaments, Scandinavian star ornaments, hair scrunchies {they. are. baaaack.} and holiday potholders) at Christmas Simple at E-Free Church. I’ll post a link to the event in the comments.
“It’s going to be a real dynamite night with a slam bang finish” Can anyone name the Christmas movie with that line?!

One of the things that works best for me and works great for you is that the barn quilt you see on Etsy is the barn quilt you’re receiving (unless it’s a custom order). So when an order comes in I am able to get it packaged and have the USPS come pick it up from my home within a day or two.

I also understand that shipping these barn quilts (weighing under 6 lbs) can get costly which is why I offer free pick up in Bloomington. Be sure to use BLONOPICKUP as a coupon code if you’d like to save on shipping by picking it up yourself.

My brother-in-law just posted this picture of their property in Michigan. I always love seeing their barn quilt on their chicken coop and the snow is just stunning.

Stay warm, drive safe, and please take time to enjoy the beauty around you today.

I will be a vendor at Christmas Simple on Friday December 7th at 6pm at E-Free Church. Appetizers, dessert bar, live music & a guest speaker will also be in the mix for the evening. Advanced tickets are $5. I’d love to see you there! Find out more details at:

Show after show I have quilters comment on how they’ve been wanting to make their own barn quilt. Well now is your chance. Tomorrow I’ll be debuting a barn quilt kit for quilters to get their chance to make their own. I took care of the carpentry, supplies and instructions so you’ll just need to put your quilting skills & design to use to make the block you’ve always wanted. . . If you’d like to get a kit for yourself you can pick one up tomorrow at Lexington in Bloom at the park on Main Street. I’ll be there from 10-4 with other vendors offering outdoor pieces for your garden, porch or outdoor space. You can find Lexington in Bloom on Facebook to get more information on the event. . . #lexingtoninbloom #lexingtonil #centralillinois #blono #quilters #quiltblock #barnquilt #diy #porchdecor #frontporch #patiodecor
