Selecting Fabric: Color and Beyond



Do you find yourself standing in a quilt store overwhelmed by the sheer number of fabric options?  Are you worried about making the wrong choices to use in your quilts? 

 

I think this quote by Brigitte Heitland of Zen Chic sums up the dilemma: “Choosing fabric can feel like speed dating in a room full of super models. Everyone is gorgeous. Everyone is tempting. And suddenly you trust no one.”

 

Selecting Fabric: Color and Beyond is a three-part class, during which you’ll learn about using color and choosing fabrics for your quilts.

 

  • Part 1—Let’s Talk About Color will take place on Saturday, August 1 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. During this session, you’ll learn some basics about color.
  • Part 2—Let’s Continue Talking About Color will take place on Sunday, August 2 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. During this session, you’ll continue learning about color. We’ll be exploring value, intensity and color ratios.
  • Part 3—Let’s Talk About Fabric will take place on Saturday, August 8 from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. During this final session, you’ll learn about fabric styles and what to consider when choosing fabrics for a quilt.

 

Creativity is a process…the more you explore and try new things, the more you’ll find your own sense of expression. Hopefully, this class will help you trust your instincts and have fun!
