Winter Flake Barn Quilt
Once in a while a quilt block becomes the inspiration for a piece of art, in this case a painted barn quilt. I am so honored to have been blessed to paint the Winter Flake Quilt designed by Katarina Roccella into wood. I loved the angles of this beautiful flake and new it had to be painted.

With a "pond" between us, we were able to graph and paint this beauty on a week when Mother Nature dumped four days of snow on our mountain, and then the sun came out just as we finished framing this beautiful quilt block.
The Winter Flake Quilt Pattern is available through Katarina Roccella at her website. You can also follow her on Instagram @katarinaroccella or the hashtag #winterflakequilt. I hope to make this quilt soon in fabric, but for now I'll be happy to have it painted and sparkling in our mountain snow. Thank you Katarina for the blessing of painting this beautiful barn quilt.
The colors used from our Prairie Paint line were Apple Orchard, Stony Brook, Blue Spruce, Spring Moss, Lambs Ear and Poppy Pink. Those of you who have painted with these Gel-chalk Paints know how beautiful they are on wood, and these colors together made the most beautiful Winter Flake. All of our paints are available in the shop.

Mini Barn Quilt Paint Kits
Isn't everything a little cuter when it's mini? I think so! Especially when it comes to our favorite quilts in full color, and mini. New to our shop is a collection of Mini Barn Quilt Paint Kits!
Our favorite barn quilts in a pre-scored 4" wood barn quilt, with all the Prairie Paints and Finishing Wax, brush and instructions too. We have had so much fun sharing these with customers all over the country this season, and now they are in our shop, all packaged and ready to ship to you.

There are nine quilts in the collection, The Farmer's Daughter, Orchard Star, Old Mill, Rhode Island Star, Texas Star, Ohio Star, Blue Belle, Thistle Place, and Dutch Girl. See, I told you, all of our favorites in mini little kits ready to paint and hang.

We love this collection and are looking forward to shipping them out to you and your families, so you can celebrate, and create together for the holiday. In case you are wondering what to do with them after the tree comes down, we have you covered with a collector frame to hold them all together as a wall hanging.

Barn Star and Hex Kits
Among the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, you will find barns with colorful symbols and stars. These beautiful painted signs are called hexes and barn stars. The Pennsylvania Dutch hung them on their barns to bring blessings to their families. Some of the symbols brought protections, some sun and rain, some were thought to bring happiness and success.
New to our Tweetle Dee Barn Star and Hex Collection are eight beautiful hexes. Each design is available as a Ready To Paint Kit or alone as pre-drawn round board.
Unity Star Barn Hex
The Unity Star or the Twelve Point Star is one of my personal favorites. The way the colors spin into each other creates the illusion of a kaleidoscope. The Twelve Points represented the twelve apostles of Christ. Each color also represents a value or blessing sought, so as they all twist together, you can see the symbolism of unity. We have had the Unity Star Barn Hex hanging on our home for many years, as it is the one blessing I seek for my large family with all of our different needs and personalities.
Bounteous Blessings Barn Hex
The Bounteous Blessings Barn Hex is an original Tweetle Dee design. I choose the center of stars to symbolize good luck. The hearts symbolize the blessing of love and flowers the prospect of growth and renewal. I love painting this design and I am so happy to be able to share it with you.
1849 Barn Star
The 1849 Star is a replica of one of the oldest visible barn hexes painted onto a barn. The six points represent the six day of creation from the Bible. Being a creator, this star has a special meaning to me. Particularly the way the colors flip-flop from the center to the outside. Creating is meant to be a changing process, one where you begin with a concept and as the artist, you sometime evolve with your creation and come up with something very different than what you began with. I love the old colors in this design, all of which are a part of our Prairie Paint line.
The Eight Point Star represented the resurrection of Christ, as He rose on the first day of the week following his death. It symbolizes renewal and new beginnings. Painted in different colors can also bring an added blessing sought in the hex with the color references below;
Yellow - Abundance
Orange - Energy and Creativity
Red - Love and Connection
Pink - Love
Purple - Intuition and Spiritual Ties
Blue - Peace and Protection
Green - Growth and Renewal
Black - To Bind Together
White - Purity

Chadwick Farms and Swiss Christmas
It has been a long time coming, but here are the two most requested patterns of 2022, The Swiss Christmas Barn Quilt Pattern and Chadwick Farms. We are so excited to have them printed and in our shop ready for shipping this week!

The Swiss Christmas is a striking clean and simple little tree, made of Swiss Crosses and painted in my favorite Prairie Paint greens. This design is an original from us at Tweetle Dee and was created to honor our Swiss friends, and there love of simple design. For years, we have brought this with us to all of our Swiss events and it is a much loved design. Now, the pattern is available as a PDF download or a paper pattern, ready for shipping to your mailbox.
Chadwick Farms was a custom design for a family in the east, who loved the Blue Willow paint color from our Prairie Paint Collection and wanted to design a classic looking original quilt design for their farm. Those opportunities are what motivates us to create from the heart. We have had so many of you ask for this design in a pattern, and now it is here in the shop as a PDF download and a paper pattern too.

Blue Spruce Barn Quilt
Our newest barn quilt release is the Blue Spruce. When we were traveling to visit our family in NY, we wanted to give a barn quilt to my cousin to hang at the farm. She wanted something with pine trees. Her home is surrounded by tall, beautiful pine trees and at the end of the orchard is this old pole barn. The perfect place for a barn quilt designed with long wispy pine boughs and cones.
Some still stand today, and are now cared for by my cousin and her husband with as much love as our grandfather had for them. It's a place of beauty and peace. So, it was a honor to design a barn quilt that had the grace and subtle colors of the pine cones and boughs.

Maple Sap and Turkey Tail
As the summer heat turns the milkweed to amber, I know that its just a month or two before the leaves will begin to turn to the gorgeous colors of fall. One of my favorite colors in our Prairie Paint Fall Collection is Maple Sap.
The color Maple Sap is like a rich, deep orange-ish, golden brown that can be found in the crisp leaves of fall or an heirloom pumpkin. Whenever I am painting a fall design and need an orange, I reach for Maple Sap. I do love our Pumpkin Patch color for brighter, vintage inspired oranges, but Maple Sap has a deep, richness that makes whatever I'm painting "orange" gorgeous.
Below you can see the color prior to adding our Prairie Paints Finishing Wax. Our Prairie Paints are a thick gel-chalk paint that was specially formulated to go on with one coat coverage and no-run applications. It is perfect for painting interior furniture, cabinetry, accessories and yes, barn quilts! Our customers love this paint and we love sharing it with you.
With fall coming quickly, we are adding all of our fall patterns, kits, barn quilts and stitching kits to the site. You will find several new patterns and kits that are perfect for the fall season. Our Turkey Tail Barn Quilt is one of my favorite new designs and is stunning in so many color combinations, but my favorite is the one pictured below.
Turkey Tail is available in a pattern, kits and as a framed-over barn quilt in four sizes. The sample above is painted in Maple Sap, Hay Down, Cattle Drive Coffee, Homestead White, and Over the Pond.
This week all of our Prairie Paint Collection is on sale. No codes needed. You will get 20% off on all orders over $30.00. This includes our Finishing Wax and Gel-Chalk Powder that turns any paint into a thick, gorgeous chalk paint. We hope you enjoy shopping in our Online Shop and find the colors you want to get your fall painting on!
