In 2008, the Pat Alcorn homeschooling art class in Herscher, Illinois designed, painted and assisted in the installation of a 8 x 8’ plywood barn quilt on the corncrib on Pat’s mother’s farm just west of Kankakee, Illinois, 40 miles south of Chicago. Ten quilts were installed last summer, at least nine more in 2009.
The class will be creating another barn quilt in the summer of 2009.
