Barn Quilts

Started a Barn Quilt on April 27, 2011 at Wells Community Ed. class held at Renee Holmes farm 12 miles East of New Richland. We painted the primer after sanding our 4 ' square plywood panels. May 3, 2011, we returned to work again. The panels were all primed, 2 coats, applied by Renee and Marilyn. We drew our design grid, taped the edges and applied the first color. A photographer was present from the New Richland paper. We were all photographed in front of Renee's barn quilt. We were told this is the first barn quilt painting class in Minnesota. Guess we could be famous. I chose a pattern called "old glory" in red, white and blue. It will be jazzing up my farm in a few short weeks.
