My Little Grouse House

My Little Grouse House Thanks for visiting! I am a busy mom taking care of 3 kids (Mae, Teddy & Oscar) with my husband, Paul. From there I began making barn quilts. Why Barn quilts?

Over the last 9 years I have developed a love of sewing & quilting. And here is where I share them with you. My name is Abigail and My Little Grouse House is my business to share with you some of the barn quilts that I love. I've been married for 12 years and have 3 kids. We also have a grouchy old basset hound named, Opey. We live in central Illinois, where I was raised. The wide open spaces of c

orn and bean fields are one of the most comforting places in the world for me! I love sewing and crafting, trying new recipes and reading children's novels and memoirs, group exercise classes and iced coffee. My Little Grouse House got it's name after a little cabin in the woods in Northern Wisconsin where my husband and I spent the early years of our marriage. We learned so much about our faith, friendship and living in community. I also discovered my love for sewing and crafting in that cabin. So this shop is an ode to the many great memories I have there. Because you can't put a real quilt everywhere ;)

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.

These 3 words are probably the biggest peripety written in scripture. They were the ultimate game changer for all of history & mankind. .

So many of my barn quilts are inspired from actual quilts and these are no exception. They were inspired from the poinsettia quilt that can be found and made by Kristi of & (swipe right to see the quilt). Someday I hope to make this quilt with the quick curve ruler. Any quilters out there that have used the QCR?
