Barn Quilt Block Painting - Who needs fabric?

 We had a wonderful time on Saturday, painting barn blocks! 

Thanks so much to Deb Adams for organizing and hosting this event - the weather was gorgeous, the company wonderful, and the opportunity to create amongst friends was both relaxing and rewarding! 

Here are some photos from our paint day: 

Deb had tables set up for us in front of the barn.


Just getting started

Taping block designs on the boards

Freehand painting!

Lots of careful concentration (and tiny brushes!) along color change lines!

More painter's tape!

It's like a large-scale coloring book, but with painter's tape, it's ok if you go outside the lines! :) 

Blocks in progress

Heading to the paint drying station

We started the morning using hair dryers to speed up the drying process. By midday, the breeze and the sun took care of the drying for us! 

This ended up being the color of the day - Velvety Night. It was one of the colors Deb had, and we all loved its rich darkness - even if we weren't sure if it was gray, dark brown, or some version of black. 

Finished blocks! 

Aren't they great?!?!

Such a fun day, ladies! So glad we could get together!
