About the Artist

David Oaks

Dave Oaks started “Barn Quilts by Oaksy” shortly after he retired. His dream of a self-guided barn quilt tour in Chisago County started coming to life when he was contacted by the local Foundation to be a partner in the development of a Barn Quilt Trail along the Highway 8 corridor. Dave doesn’t consider himself an artist, but he is definitely a craftsman with an eye for artistic design! He built and painted 5 large 8 X 8 quilt squares specifically for the Swedish Barn Quilt Trail, and also does custom designs, including the “Weathervane” quilt design that was done for Pleasant Valley Apple Orchard. If you are interested in a custom quilt square, please visit www.barnquiltsbyoaksy.com for more information.
