Myers Meeting Room

Join us to celebrate the joy, artistry, and tradition of quilting by painting a mini barn quilt.

What is a barn quilt?

A barn quilt is a fabric quilt pattern painted on exterior grade material. They are hung on barns and large enough to see from a distance. Barn quilt painters are often inspired by treasured fabric quilts. Now you can paint a mini barn quilt of your own.
