History: Sponsored by John Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist.  The dairy barn was used by the former owners of the farm, Joy and Delbert Rohde. Using mortaise-tenon construction, the turn-of-the-century barn is estimated to be over 100 years old.

Comments:

The “Blowing in the Wind” quilt is based on the Lafayette Orange Peel quilt pattern, with a color scheme of smoky emerald (green), golden valley (gold), casa deoro (yellow) and irish plum (purple); the background is sky blue, representing the clean air made possible by renewable wind and solar energy, not fossil fuels.
