You've seen them around on houses, fences, garages and yes, even barns. The Barn Quilt Class is BACK! NEW for October are the BQ Ladders which hold 4 small barn quilts - there will be a limit of 5 available for this class so register EARLY.
The hands-on workshop will be held Saturday, Oct. 10th, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Participants will create their own colorful barn quilt while choosing from more than 200 unique designs in four size options, ranging from a 1' × 1' square to the “Big Kahuna” 4' × 4' statement piece. PLUS - NEW for this class - you can choose from the Barn Quilt Ladder.
The BQ Ladder comes with either one or two-sided Barn Quilts to add a lot of variety to your Barn Quilt Displays! In the BQ Ladder 'kit' you'll get the Ladder (ready to stain or paint as you desire) and four 1x1' ready to paint BQ panels. If you have painted 1 x 1 panels that you would like incorporate into a ladder, that can be worked out with Tammy. Please contact her. For this session, there are no substitutions to the design options and no color variations.
Tammy prepares the boards in advance, carefully drawing the selected designs so participants can focus on the fun part—painting. Even those with little or no painting experience will feel confident thanks to Tammy’s step-by-step instruction and detail-oriented guidance.
Registration includes all materials and supplies, along with lunch & snacks to keep participants energized throughout the creative day.
Space is limited and the class has filled quickly in the past. Registration closes September 11.

After you've registered, Tammy will contact you to confirm your design choice and discuss any slight variations in the color scheme. Ie. You'd like the green & gold to be 'true John Deere' colors.
