June 6 & June 13 - Mini-Barn Quilt Workshop 
Our June meetings special event will be the Mini-Barn Quilt Block Boards. Faye Hurd and Mary Hoban will
be the facilitator’s for the workshop. Participants will be transferring a quilt block pattern of their choice
onto a prepared (cut, sanded, and primed) 2’ x 2’ board. They will then paint their quilt block pattern and
leave with a Mini-Barn Quilt Block (board). This project will require two long meetings to complete the
project.
The cost of the workshop will be $25.00 for each participant to make 1 block. Participants must sign up
and pay for the workshop by the May 2 regular meeting. At this time we have only 1 empty
spot left for the workshop. Class size is limited to 16 people.
What do you get for your $25.00?
1. Mary and Faye will purchase and prepare your 2’ x 2’ board (cut, sand, fill, and prime the board).
2. Your basic brushes, tape, paint and other supplies are covered.
What you will need to prepare or bring?
1. You must decide on a quilt block pattern for your Mini-Barn Quilt. We suggest you choose a simpler
design for your first attempt. You will need to bring a graphed design already sized as a 12” block t o t h e
first workshop. You will be enlarging that block onto your board at the first workshop. NOTE: We do have
some block pattern books for suggestions on your quilt blocks. Or, find a pattern for free at
AllPeopleQuilt.com/685.
2. You will need to choose your quilt block colors. We have 4 blue toned paints, 1 red, and 4 yellow toned
paints. We will be either mixing or buying a few more colors for paints. We will need to know your paint
colors for your block by the May 16th meeting. NOTE: I f your colors are too exotic an d can’t be
mixed by/for us, we may ask you to change your color plan or you will have to buy your own paint.
3. Things to bring to the workshops: Pencils, yard stick /ruler, pink eraser, paper towel or paint rags for
your personal use. Note: If you prefer to paint wearing gloves, bring those, too.
4. Be sure to wear clothes that are suitable for getting messy, painted or …
5. These are BYOL workshops. We ask that you pack a lunch for both workshops. We will be working from
the end of the regular meetings through clean-up time. We will ask all participants to help with clean-up.

Questions? Ask Faye or Mary.
