The story:
I was born and raised in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We lived out in the country and spent a lot of time in the summer playing in the farm fields and down by the creek. We always passed the No Trespassing sign but never felt it applied to us; it was only there to keep out strangers! I especially enjoyed making the "sign" for this quilt. By using quilting, I duplicated the weathered look of it's wood.
