Barn quilts have a rich history and can be traced back to revolutionary war. Join local artist and teacher Kristin Murphy to create your very own barn quilt while exploring the historic roots. Each student will be provided with a 2’x2’ board, select a quilt pattern and explore color theory. Participants will walk away with a unique quilt that can will brighten any outdoor space!

Her classes offer a welcoming atmosphere where participants can learn, explore, and take home a piece of art that reflects their own style.
