The latest update on •Father’s Choice• from that article we shared a couple weeks ago! It’s really coming along…adding a final coat on the border and touching up some fine lines. 🖤🎨🇺🇸

What better way to decorate for A250 this year than with a patriotic •Folded Flag• barn quilt! 🇺🇸❤️🎨

Customizable in any size as needed!

Let us know if you have a favorite patriotic pattern, we’d love to hear from you!

…and we’re back!!! 🤪✨🏝️

Our lil CBQ family snuck away and road tripped as far South as possible for a beautiful couple of weeks filled with rest, exploration, laughter, and an epic reunion with family friends!

Now that the bags are unpacked and we’re settling back into our daily routines, that can only mean one thing- it’s time to roll up our sleeves and put those brushes back to work! 🎨🩵🏝️

Thanks to all our followers for keeping up with our CBQ journey!!! We appreciate you liking, sharing, and helping spread the word about our little family business here in Dare & Currituck counties!

We set the brushes down and hit the wide open road for an epic family road trip…be back soon-ish! 🤪🩵🎨🗺️🏝️☀️

Come along on a journey with us…

What started as asking for a couple samples of Valspar’s Swiss Coffee, quickly turned into an educational, behind the scenes, in depth training experience about mixing paint!

Most, if not every time, you approach the paint counter and the sales associate will give ya what you ask for. This time, our now favorite paint guy, went above and beyond to explain why my two samples wouldn’t be the exact same colors. Which led to so many other interesting conversations about paint that we never thought to ask!

The short version is this- when the barcode on the paint chip is scanned, the computer determines which base should be used and how many drops of various colors need to be added to achieve the intended color.

The ingredients for Swiss Coffee are black, gold, and red. Working with sample sized jars, if you notice in the photo, we only need a tiny fraction of a single drop of each! A FRACTION OF A DROP!

This is where things get slightly jumbled.

The machine does a fantastic job overall, but some things just happen when working in such small amounts. Consider the last time the lines were purged, what residual paint may possibly drop into your color, and once the wheels start turning in your brain with all the mechanics of mixing paint- you’ll be mind blown! 🤯🫟🤔

As we knelt down to look up at where the paint dispenses from, it didn’t take long to realize that not all three of our “fractions of drops” even dropped. If you look closely, you can see almost a full drop of red just barely hanging on up there. You can also see that in the jar, the gold dropped and the black (the third pin drop is splatter from the black), but not the red. When we did a second jar, a different arrangement of drops mixed. For the third jar, we finally had all three fractions of drops actually drop together.

So here is the takeaway- plan to start and finish a barn quilt with the same jar of paint. If you run out of Swiss Coffee and need to do touch ups at the end, chances are that the color will be slightly off. It may or may not be noticed, but we prefer not to take too many risks, especially when working on customer’s boards.

Now, we say all this to share what we think is valuable knowledge. We are not knocking our store or paint department. We absolutely LOVE our paint team and are so thankful that we were given the opportunity to learn more about the mixing process before we even start painting barn quilts! It really was so interesting!!!

Time to cozy up with this pattern and pour yourself a warm cup of Monday morning goodness! ☕️🗓️💛🎨

Wouldn’t this be a cute pattern with some stenciling?! Where’s our fav coffee shops at?!

If any of our followers have tween/teens in the house, I’m sure you’ll appreciate this and/or roll your eyes! 🤍🤷🏻‍♀️🤪

If you can imagine, I was just minding my own business, doing a lil housekeeping, to combine 3 almost empty jars into one. Suddenly, a roar of laughter erupts as our girls enter the room doing that silly 6️⃣ 7️⃣ thing hand thing that all the kids are doing! 🙄😆🤦🏻‍♀️

All that to say, here’s your pro tip of the day- it’s fine to combine jars like this, but wait until all your projects are completed and no touch ups remain!

Not every “Swiss Coffee” or “Sea Wave” jar is exactly identical….stay tuned and we’ll take you on a little trip behind the scenes of the paint counter to explain why!

Rollin’ back some flag stripes today! It feels SO good to finish stacking that red over the gray base. ❣️🇺🇸🎨

Thanks to FrogTape for creating such an amazing roll of tape!!! 🐸

Remember back when that snowstorm hit the OBX and we shared a patriotic pinwheel on the fence? Well, here is the before and almost after of it. ❤️🇺🇸🎨⭐️

With heartfelt thanks and appreciation, we recently received a beautiful packet via mail, full of barn quilt trail information, from Rockingham County, NC! ✨🩵🎨📬

Being able to tangibly show Dare & Currituck County shop owners a pamphlet of what an official barn quilt trail looks like is key! Most of our coastal residents have never heard of painted barn quilts, but when we show them examples like this, you can see the ‘lightbulb moment!’ It’s so exciting!

If you’d like to be a part of the movement, reach out to us and let’s get started customizing a barn quilt just for you!

Sometimes we unintentionally end up doing things backwards…in hindsight, I would roll the entire background first, before drawing the pattern. I knew this…Rookie mistake! 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️🤪

Having these flying geese all painted and protected by that yellow Frog Tape, we’re ready to roll on a couple coats of Ultra White paint for the background. Then adding some sponging to the center block before working on our logo.

Our lil traveling barn quilt is getting one step closer to embarking on future adventures in the great big world! 🎨🩵

I’ve also started working on that Waving Flag pattern that Mom picked out of the BQH’s book! One of the neatest moments for us is looking at side by sides before paint/tape and after. It’s just so magical watching a pattern come together! ❤️🇺🇸🎨
