Folk Art Barn Quilt Calendar

Every year we release a new barn quilt calendar.  The planning begins over the holidays and this year we wanted to reproduce the painting style we did when we were first married.  We painted a few pieces in our home with images of farm life with lots of little details.  This year we added barn quilts and little farm friends in a perpetual calendar called Folk Art Barn Quilt Calendar. 


Folk Art Barn Quilt Calendar

We both had our favorite elements.  I loves the sun and the moon...and of course the quilted pasture.  Mike loved the corn and the sheep.  The calendar grid is painted onto wood with black stain to allow the wood grain to come out between the white lines.  The grid is a permanent calendar template.  The month and dates can be added with simple chalk to make each month your very own personal piece.


The opposite side is painted as well with a black board for messages and pictures to be added.  It's a great place to write your family mantras and messages that celebrate life.



The folk art style just warms our souls and being able to write this years calendar, goals, and mantras  on something that reminds of us of home makes it all the more fabulous.  We hope you enjoy this calendar.  If you are looking for something simple, please check out the Farmhouse Perpetual Calendar in our shop.
