Hens and Chicks – A Story of Home

There’s something timeless about a hen gathering her chicks — wings stretched wide, soft feathers rustling as they nestle close. It’s a picture of love and belonging, a quiet reminder that home is built from care, comfort, and the circles that hold us.

The Hens and Chicks Barn Quilt was inspired by this tender scene of farm life.

Each piece of the design tells a story:

🪶 The half-square triangles form the wings of the hens, open and strong.

🐥 The tiny checks are the chicks, lively and full of promise.

🏡 The rail blocks create their home — centered, safe, and rooted.

Painted in hues from our Prairie Paint Collection, each color was chosen for the story it tells:

🌾 Honeycomb – golden warmth of the nest

🌿 Asparagus Patch – the green of new life

🍁 Maple Sap – the grounding strength of the earth

🏡 Homestead – the steady heart of home

💧 Sodus Point – the calm blue of the morning sky

Together, they weave a quilt that feels both familiar and fresh — a folk-art piece that belongs in a farmhouse kitchen, a cottage nook, or hanging above the heart of a home.

The Hens and Chicks Barn Quilt is now available as a painted piece, a DIY kit, and a pattern — each one inviting you to bring its story into your own space.

May it remind you that no matter where life takes us, we all carry a home within — and wings that shelter love.
