I have no idea what these symbols mean...they are on farm buildings/barns over in Illinois. Not too far from here if I am not mistaken. These photos are from 2009. You think the above are a bit odd...they remind me of quilt barns but are not any pattern that I have ever seen.
then there is this...it strikes me funny every time I see it.
Now those are interesting patterns, much larger than I'd expect. Love the dino!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I wish I could sorta draw and paint and I would do that to my barn.
ReplyDeleteIt is called Strawberry Hill Farm and used to have a sign on the barn but took it down about 10 yrs ago meaning to repaint and just haven't.

Hello, they do look like the quilt barns. I like the dino. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDelete...how neat!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen any like these either and that is one strange barn animal.. brahahaha
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I wonder if these are considered hex signs, Pennsylvania Dutch folk art? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_sign
ReplyDeleteThe dino? Well, that is just funny!
That's interesting. I hope if you ever find out you'll let us know.
ReplyDeletesome one is too creative. i love it!! makes me smile. thank you for sharing. ( ;
ReplyDeleteThey do remind me of the Amish "Hex" signs or as someone else said a Quilt pattern. The Dino though is super funny.
ReplyDeleteYes the dino is a funny looking thing. There are groups of people in our area that paint quilt pieces and place them no the barns. This reminds mine of it.
ReplyDeleteWhy don´t they do this around here... outside Stavanger???
ReplyDeleteLooks nice with the art on the walls!
