About the Artist

Noel McKinnon

Noel’s love for big old barns, antiques and design all came together, and she started “Fancy Farms Barn Quilts and Repurposed Farm Goods” in 2014. She makes barn quilts in various sizes, to suit the space. The quilt square at Shafer Contracting is a small, 3 ft. X 3 ft. design, in dominant colors (red, yellow and black) often used in the construction industry. Noel is a busy stay at home with three kids, and her family lives and farms in Mora, Minnesota. Noel and her husband enjoy making and repurposing items in their spare time, and have participated in a few local craft fairs. Her connection to the Swedish Barn Quilt Trail in the Chisago Lakes Area is Dave Oaks. She met him at the Almelund Threshing Show last year, where he had his Barn Quilts on display.
