Ben and James Speer are seen here putting the finishing touches on their barn quilts. (Photo submitted) By Dugald McIntosh Tuesday, March 27 was the fifth meeting of the Hensall Barn Quilt Crafters. We started the meeting off with the 4-H pledge. Then we did the roll call. It was, "How many more colours do you have left to put on your barn quilts?" I had four colours left to paint. After that, we started to paint. Then we went over the criteria of judging work boots then each member had to judge four pairs of work boots. After that we did another coat of paint. While our paint dried, we did the 4-H reports, including secretary, treasurer and press report. After the reports, we had the results of our judging. The next meeting of the Hensall Barn Quilt Crafters was scheduled for Tuesday, April 3 at the Hensall United Church at 6;30 p.m. We ended the meeting with the 4-H motto "learn to do by doing." On Saturday, March 24 at 10 a.m., the fourth meeting of the Hensall Barn Quilt Crafters was held. Members started the meeting off with the 4-H pledge, then started painting their barn quilts. They let the first coat of paint dry, then had the business part of the meeting. The roll call was, "What other type of club would you like to participate in with the Hensall Life Skills Club?" My answer was, an off-road club. Nancy Carroll was the special guest. She helped them think about how to write a story about the barn quilts. Nancy showed the Dutton/Dunwich Barn Quilt Trail pamphlet. Then they applied another coat of paint on the barn quilts. Members took a break from painting and read the 4-H reports and had lunch. After lunch they added more paint to the quilts. The next meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, March 27 at the Hensall United Church. At 1 p.m. they closed the meeting with the 4-H motto, "Learn To Do By Doing". On Tuesday, March 6 members held the third meeting of the Hensall Barn Quilt Crafters. The meeting started with the 4-H pledge, then the roll call, which was, "Name one thing you should remember when working with paint or what colours you've chosen" My answer was, do your sketch before you paint. Then all of the 4-H reports were read. The club members took turns reading the information sheets on SHUR•GAIN general painting tips and barn quilting painting tips. Special presentations were given by Deb Falconer, SueAnne Van Miltenburg and Bev Prout. Deb Falconer talked about the IPM barn quilts. SueAnne Van Miltenburg shared her story about the barn quilt she made and how she picked the colours. Bev Prout talked about how to tape the barn quilts and how to use a tape tool.
