No barn? No problem! Join the barn quilt movement by creating your own painted quilt block to use on the inside or outside of your home at Barn Quilt Painting on Saturdays, May 3, May 17, June 14 or Aug. 2 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Greenhouse Auditorium. (Each class covers the same material.)
This workshop will start with a pre-primed board with a design already drafted (choose from a cardinal or sunburst design during registration). Students will tape and paint at their own pace, choosing from a wide variety of colors.
Instructor Jane Cade will also share a brief history of barn quilts, techniques, tips, and discuss how to properly seal your finished piece after the paint has dried for 48 hours. Leave with a 20×20″ wooden ‘quilt block’ to keep for yourself or share your talents and give someone a handmade gift.
