Our Story

Quilting with a paintbrush for over a decade!
Family Owned, Midwest Made.

Charlene Watkin in the summer of 2023 standing next to the very first barn quilt she made eleven years ago!

Watkin Barn Quilts was established in the fall of 2012, when Charlene, the owner, was just 14 years old. With a skill she learned in 4-H, she decided to jump head first into the world of small business. Not alone however, with parents Charles and Mary Watkin, our family banded together to make Watkin Barn Quilts what it is today!

Over the last twelve years, we’ve picked up tips and tricks to ensure our products can look beautiful for years! We specialize in custom barn quilts to give our customers a one-of-a-kind piece that means the most to them!

Thanks for following along as we “quilt” with a paintbrush through out the Midwest and beyond!
