208 pages | Softcover | Quiltmania
Treasures from the Barn is a heartfelt quilt book by Linda Collins that captures the warmth and legacy of antique quilts. Featuring 15 beautiful projects, this 208-page book brings to life Linda’s collection of reproduction quilts, each inspired by antique finds and crafted with a deep respect for traditional quilting techniques.
Linda shares not just patterns, but stories—of home, family, and the special place quilts hold in everyday life. Her introduction is a touching look into how quilts became a constant in her home, even through life’s challenges. One highlight of the book is “Little Boys Britches,” a c.1840–1850 folk art quilt that sparked joy and nostalgia when she discovered it.
The book also includes behind-the-scenes glimpses of the beloved Quilts in the Barn exhibit in Australia, a charitable event Linda hosted for many years to support breast cancer research and celebrate antique quilt traditions.
Projects include:
– Strip-pieced stars, medallion layouts, antique block recreations, and more
– Full-size templates and clear instructions
– Rich photography that showcases each quilt in rustic and charming settings
