Winter Barn Quilt Workshop (Saturday)

Slow Farm

Few things say HOME better than a handmade quilt, but you don’t  need a sewing machine to bring this folk art to your life!

<h3>Painted barn quilts add a warm personal touch to your barnyard, garage, shed, porch or deck! We offer four barn quilt workshops a year, each using a historic quilt block design and custom color palate to capture the essence of the season. </h3>I’ll show you how to navigate the geometry and translate each pattern into a painted quilt that will adorn your home (indoors or out) for years to come! While the paint dries, we’ll take a relaxing walking tour of this 47 acre regenerative farm (including visiting with goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more!) and talk about the history of the farm, which includes beautiful old quilts and textiles we’ve found here.

YOU’LL MAKE:A unique 36x36&quot; painted barn quilt based on a historic quilt block pattern called &quot;Eight Point Star.&quot; I’ll have a variety of coordinated color palettes for you to pick from (or you can go rogue and do your own thing) and will show you how to chart out the quilt pattern and tape it off for clean, crisp lines. When it’s dry enough to handle, we will finish the edges and fit your masterpiece with hanging hardware so it’s ready to go up on your wall!In addition to a fun, relaxing afternoon on the farm you will receive:<ul><li>Exterior grade materials* so your work lasts for years</li><li>Quilt handout + instructions</li><li>Quilt mapping grid coloring sheets</li><li>Light refreshments (locally sourced when possible!)</li></ul>*Allergy note: this paint is latex based. People with latex allergies should probably not take this workshop.

<h2>DETAILS:</h2>Ages: Appropriate for participants ages 12 and up. (Minors must be accompanied by an adult for the entirety of the session.)
COVID safety measures: Workshops will take place outside, so attendees should dress for the weather with sturdy footwear appropriate for farm and muddy conditions. (No sandals please!) Attendees will have their own tables, safely spaced apart, and individual workshop supplies. Facemasks are required inside any buildings (including the bathroom) and any time the attendees cannot maintain 6’ of social distance. Attendees are asked to bring their own masks.
Accessibility: Please let us know if there are things we can do to make your visit more comfortable. Shared chairs and benches will be available. The farm tour is optional and will cover approximately 1 mile of walking on uneven surfaces. The only bathroom is located up four steps inside our house.
Refunds: because supplies must be bought in advance, no refunds will be issued. Tickets can however be transferred to someone else (and make wonderful gifts!). In the event of extreme weather, workshops will be rescheduled. In the event that the new date does not work for you, you will have the option of attending another workshop of your choosing even if it is already sold out.
