Workshop description:
Anyone
intimidated by fabric selection? We will discuss the basics of color
theory and how those concepts lead to better quilts! Students will leave
armed with many tools for choosing colors. We will begin with a lecture
and trunk show exploring different aspects of color theory in quilts.
During the workshop, we will create different color palettes with
problem fabrics and inspiration photos. You will have the option of
creating either the circle color wheel or the dresden color wheel (see below for examples).
Perfect for all level sewists.
