Fall 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.

<h3>YOU’LL MAKE:</h3>A unique 24x24" painted barn quilt based on a historic quilt block pattern called "Amish Star," in honor of the autumn harvest. 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.

MORE DETAILSWorkshops will take place outside and/or in our barn, depending on the weather. Participants should dress for the weather with sturdy footwear appropriate for farm and muddy conditions. (No sandals please.) The tour will cover approximately 1 mile of walking. We will have hot teas and a fire pit going for warming breaks!Workshop size is limited to 16 participants.Ages: Appropriate for participants ages 12 and up. (Minors must be accompanied by an adult for the entirety of the session.)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!). If I have a waiting list for a class, I’m happy to help arrange a transfer. 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.
