Organizing a BQ painting class.

  Good Morning! People often as me to provide info on a barn quilt painting class for your Guild.  Here goes: The attached cover letter *see below) is how I introduce a class to individuals.  I just change the name and date and any special features of that particular class. All I need is a date, address and logo or image representing your group.  I like to have groups  of 8 to 12 people.  We can do larger groups, but answering everyone's questions can take a bit of time.  We will need a room with tables and space.  I bring tablecloths and drop cloths (if desired).  Class length is different for every individual.   I have had people sitting side by side doing the same design and one took two hours and the other took 4 hours.  Some times the difference is the slower person applying too much paint, and sometimes it's just the nature of the individuals. It's best to try to allow up to 6 hours.  If someone doesn't finish a pain...

How to do a fundraiser!

This is a pretty simple idea that a church youth group did. Everyone attends a Barn Quilt painting class for $50 and the designs go into auctions! Either a life auction at a gala event, or a silent auction at a group event. How simple is that? I have seen these panels sell from $75 to $250, depending on the quality of the work and the creativity of the design. Go for it! Jeff
