Texas Star Barn Quilt Kits
Early on this crisp, cold fall morning we sanded and stained the largest Texas Star Barn Quilt we have painted yet! The Prairie Paint colors were so beautiful on this black board, perfectly vintage and fresh. We filmed an Instagram Reels Video that you can find on my IG @thetweetledeedesignco in the Barn Quilt bubble. Our finishing oil made those colors richer than ever (if you can imagine it).
We have had such a response in the few hours since the video was live, people asking if they could get all the colors in onw kit. Guess what??? They can & you can in our Texas Star Barn Quilt Kit! We added this kit a few weeks ago to The Shop and are adding new kits every week. Each kits comes with a 22" Barn Quilt Board, base coated and ready for you to paint. The frame, paint, pen, tape, and brushes are included.

Layered Fall Porch
My husband surprised me on Saturday with a trailer load of corn stalks, some heirloom pumpkins and sunflowers, which meant more layers to our fall front porch. I love those tall stalks, though our Goldendoodles, Ellie and Bear are not so sure what they are. the layering all began a month ago when our summer flowers were beginning to wilt. I replaced the pansies with ornamental cabbages, creeping jenny and black eyed susans.
Then our littles dragged out the pumpkins and we added some to the porch with height being added in the form of old Georgia fruit baskets. Then came the stalks and pumpkins...and of course, the Village Square Barn Quilt that went up last Christmas and has lasted all through the year. I have gorgeous barn quilts for every season, but we just cant seem to take down this one.
The color of our front door is from the Prairie Paints line called Geranium Green. We painted this last summer to test our new paints to exterior uses, and it has not only held up to freezing snow and extreme heat, but the color is our most asked for shade of green. It is deep and fresh!
I hope this has inspired you to layer a few fall elements to your front porch. I add a little more until it is done. I think the only thing left to add may be a few spiders before Halloween...but I think Mother Nature will be on that one for me!

Roasted Vegetable Pasta Sauce
We planted an early garden this spring and had so many vine ripened tomatoes this year, more than any other previous year. We picked an entire bowl of them a couple of weeks ago and didn't want to see them go to waste while we ran out of time to can them, so we made a Roasted Vegetable Pasta Sauce.
My favorite way to eat vegetable is to slow roast them with olive oil and sea salt. It's like heaven on a pan! This recipe is so quick and easy, and there is no canning involved, I promise. To make this sauce you will want to gather your red tomatoes, some green peppers, onion, garlic and herbs. You can add other vegetables that you like, I added carrots because I love the taste of them roasted with tomatoes. Basically anything you love in a pasta sauce, and be added to this magical sauce.
I coasted the bottom of a baking pan with Olive Oil and began washing and chopping the vegetables, adding them to the pan in layers. I picked some fresh Basil and Thyme leaves, added a few springs of Rosemary and Red Pepper Flakes. The garlic cloves I left whole. I drizzled the vegetables with another dose of Olive Oil and salt and pepper.

Primped Up Farmhouse Hexie Pumpkins
They come ready to stain, paint or Modge Podge with your favorite designs. For me, I choose to Modge Podge them with my most adored fabrics designed by some of my friends. I layed the pumpkin down with the fabric wrong side up and traced out the shape. Then I cut out the fabric panels and brushed one layer of Modge Podge down on the wood, layed the fabric over it and brushed a second coat on top. This seals the fabric so well! Make sure the bubbles are out by flattening it with your fingers or a dry brush.
Let the Modge Podge fully dry. Once it is dry you can trim off any excess fabric with a sharp cut knife or a sander will remove any access as well. I used my sander on the corners and edges of the fabric pumpkins to distress them. With the Modge Podge dry, I was able to dry brush some of our Prairie Paints Oil Stain onto the fabrics to give an all over aging to them. It was so pretty over the Coneflowers and polka-dots. After I brushed the stain on I wiped it off with a dry cloth and let it dry.
If you are wanting to trace on a quilt block pattern, florals, or wording, I recommend you use my favorite a Carbon Transfer Paper. Cut a piece off of the carbon paper that equals the size of your pumpkin. Lay it over the pumpkin and place the image you are wanting to trace on top of the carbon paper. Use a soft lead pencil to trace the design onto your pumpkin. Lift the design and you are ready to paint in your detailed design! You can watch a tutorial for this type of transfer on my Tweetle Dee You Tube Page.
