Barn Quilt Locations
3501 South State Route 235, St. Paris
Barn Owners: Jim and Charlie Reed
Quilt Square: "One Bad Bobcat"
Sponsors: Jim's Equipment & The Reed Family
The Reed family purchased the farm in 1995, building this barn in 2006. Made of metal, this barn is used primarily for storage of inventory for their business.
The quilt pattern was selected to reflect their business, Jim's Equipment, which sells used Bobcat Skid-Steer Loaders. The colors in the quilt, black, orange, & white, relect the Bobcat brand. Their business is family owned and has been run out of their home for many years.
