Brian and Patti grew up in the country, so wanting the same for their children (Christopher, Daryl, Breanne, and Bethany) they purchased their 100 acre farm 29 years ago. Over the years when their children were growing up they raised laying hens, bunnies, sheep, and beef cattle. They grew their grain and grass for feed. The raised their 4 children and have 11 grandchildren that enjoy the farm. Today they have downsized their farming operation to include some beef cow/calf and they do some crop share. The Gutscher;s barn quilt is installed on the front of their bank barn. The barn is over 100 years old made of stone foundations, wood timber frame and steel roof. It is used for housing cattle and feed storage. In 2012 their youngest daughter was married in the barn.
Driving through the countryside Brian and Patti loved looking at the quilts that were displayed on barns and other buildings, thus deciding to do one of their own and participate in the South Bruce Barn Quilt Tour.
A start for the pattern was chosen with the letter G displayed in the centre to represent the family name. The showy teal colour which is a favourite was used with gray, black and white accent colours. In making their quilt personal, symbols were chosen to represent the Gutscher's passions. Brian chose a hammer for carpentry and farming operations. Patti chose symbols to represent her love of hummingbirds that are plentiful at their farm and a flower to represent that she is an avid gardener, loving to work outside in her flower gardens.
They are very excited and proud of their barn quilt and wish to thank Cheryl from Gardiners Gate for taking their vision and designing their beautiful barn quilt for them.
* On any quilt trail, please use caution when slowing down or stopping near a site. Stopping on busy roads can be dangerous and illegal. Most quilts are located on private property. They should be viewed only from the road unless otherwise indicated at the site location or if that site is a business open to the public.
