For the Love of Barn Quilts Experience – Feb. 5, 2023

February 5, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

A group of women display their * point Star barn quilts

Enter the world of Barn Quilts – the rural art phenomenon that decorates the North American countryside. With Susanne Spence Wilkins – barn lover and barn quilt painter – you will discover how rural communities and families are telling their stories along our Barn Quilt Trails. Then, inside, our historic 8-sided Barn, create your own 24″ by 24″ 8 Point Star Barn Quilt: discovering “fun” geometry and how colours and patterns can tell your story. You will be treated to Country-style Scones from our oven (Gluten -free options available) and Ontario-made teas or coffee. This four-hour long experience is perfect for friends day-out, couples, families who want to tell their stories and anyone wishing to learn more about our rural stories. $99 plus tax per person

You will need to bring a blow dryer and wear painting clothes.

Reservations are required.  Click here to reserve your spot.
