Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement
Following the Barn Quilt Trail
August 17, 2022
Maximum participants 20. Reserve your spot for the workshop for $25.
Reservation price based on maximum participation.
Suzi Parron, Author
Combination Zoom and Video Workshop
Sign up ~ Barbara Davis, Education Co-Chair - barbrelee@gmail.com or Rhonda Coler, Education Co-Chair - notime2qlt@aol.com
Participants should make their selection of barn quilt pattern and plan their color scheme. Inform Barbara Davis of these pattern choices. She will acquire the board and we will prime them on July 20. Click here to make your selection
Suzi says, “As far as the workshop itself, I talk the group through each step of the process--drawing their pattern, using tape to outline the shapes, and then three steps of painting. I have the demos on video so that I can make sure the quality is good. So I talk for a while, show a demo, answer questions, and then let everyone complete that step. Then I talk about the next step, show that demo, answer questions, and allow time. The class takes about three hours. It is easiest if people are at their homes or in small groups at different locations. That way I can see what everyone is doing.”
