Blog Hop Week Five Featuring Glen Parks

Cajun Camp by Glen Parks

Week Five of the SSOBB Blog Hop is nearing an end.

Our featured SSOBB Charter Member this week has been . . . 

GLEN PARKS of Louisiana.

Glen has shared three biog hop posts

and a chance to win an autographed copy of BUILD A BARN.

Post ONE is HERE

Post TWO is HERE

Post THREE is HERE

The photos in this post come from her third post -

you really need to go read all about the real cajun camps

behind this new work inspired by BUILD A BARN.

As a reminder --

The SSOBB Blog Hop is a 12-week series 

focusing on the SSOBB Charter Members.

The Blog Hop is intended to give each of them 

a chance to share their stories,

whether it involves the making of their Gallery quilts,

sharing their perspective on being part of

 the Secret Society of Barn Builders,

or sharing new free pieced work they're stitching --

this blog hop is all about recognizing their contributions to

BUILD A BARN and The Free Pieced Barn Project.

The Free Pieced Barn Project 

began in 2012 with the creation of See Rock City.

It continued with a book proposal and publishing offer 

that became BUILD A BARN:  No Pattern Construction.

The book includes an external gallery

of incredible free pieced barn quilts

created by the Charter Members of the 

Secret Society of Barn Builders (aka the SSOBB)

showcased here on the book's blog.

Look for the page tabs for the SSOBB,

and then for the tabs with each Charter Member's name.

SO many different kinds of barns!
