Painted Barn Blocks? What?

 I  spent a delightful day

painting with quilting friends.

It is way outside my comfort zone but I did it!

Our guild had a painting class,

painting quilt blocks on wooden boards,

that can be hung on fences, sheds or walls.

For quite a while while we were 

planning it we kept calling it,

"Barn quilt painting",

which seemed to imply that we're actually painting a barn,

but we weren't.

We sourced supplies locally,

and visited some local dollar stores for acrylic craft paints

Add a little quality painters tape, rulers,

and some snacks and we had a wonderful morning.

I primed the boards so my garage looked like

 Santa's workshop for  a while.

It turned out to be an absolutely fabulous day.


We all went home with something beautiful that we'd created,

and are planning on doing it again.



Happy painting!
