Barn Quilt
Join The Blue Fox at Affinity for Quilts to create a beautiful barn quilt pattern on a 14”x14” reclaimed wood pallet!
Locally sourced from an old farmhouse by craftsman and farmer, Josh Reinitz of East Henderson Farm, each pallet has a unique quality. Note that the wood is truly reclaimed, meaning each pallet will be completely individual and will have flaws, such as nail holes and small dings. The wood has been carefully selected, pre-sanded, and assembled.
• Choose your design and colors!
• Unique, reclaimed wood pallet
• Step-by-step instruction sheets!
​• 8 designs to choose from!
You can find them all at https://www.thebluefoxclasses.com/barnwoodpallets
Social distancing practices and masks are a requirement! Some tables may be placed outdoors if necessary to social distance. Bringing your own hand sanitizer is highly recommended. Class size will be limited to ensure  social distancing.
