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 Saturday, Feb. 28 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in The Studio.
Students will begin with one of three options on a pre-primed board with their choice of design already drafted (choose between three star and sunburst designs at registration). Students will tape and paint at their own pace, choosing from a wide variety of colors.
Instructor Jane Cade will share a 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.
$90/person. Register here. Registration closes Feb. 21 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
