In our time together we will be taking a look at the color wheel and the language of color to give as a base for choosing the fabrics for your quilt. We will move on to the fundamentals of designing or choosing fabrics for your project, the fun part.  We will look at our quilt composition and my rules for choosing fabrics which includes texture, scale, balance and how to mix print types and using solids.

I am a wife, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, aunt, sister-in-law, friend, teacher, creator and designer. I love people and helping them develop their skills and personal style. Especially with my quilt teaching I have had the privilege of watching people find their creative voice as well as fostering friendships that quilting naturally inspires. My personal mission is to share my love of quilting and creating in a straightforward and relaxed atmosphere. When teaching, my goal is to educate and encourage those interested in quilting as clearly and simply as possible. I find both venues fun, inspiring and stimulating. My work can be seen in Alex Anderson’s books, “Keep Quilting” and “Neutral Essentials” with Alex Anderson and on The Quilt Show every Saturday. Personally, whether alone or with others, I find my time quilting to be special and rejuvenating. Creatively, I enjoy the challenge of creating new patterns with a traditional spin. Together these two aspects of quilting make a perfect blend for a life journey.
