Great American Barn Quilts


Here's a video I made of photos of barn quilts - those great works of art that people mount on their barns. The Pennsylvania Dutch used to call them "hex signs." The photography was done by my friend, Kermit Hugo, and I arranged a traditional tune for solo harp, to go with it. The melody is called "Prospect," and it is a popular hymn also, called "The Lone, Wild Bird." This video runs about two and a half minutes.
