Piece like an artist!  Follow in the footsteps of Jean Wells, Rayna Gillman, and Cindy Grisdela.  Practice ruler-free cutting and slow-ish stitching with careful pressing; create some ripply slabs and arrange them asymmetrically across a pillow top, placemat, or table runner. 

Bring:

• Your rotary cutter & mat (or borrow from White Bluffs)
• Your sewing machine & supplies (or rent from White Bluffs)
• 1/2 yd of solid/read-solid in your favorite color
• Scraps or stings to coordinate (prints large or small, plaids, stripes, even orphan blocks)*

*I'm ready to share my own accumulation of schnibbles & bits - they're sorted by color.

Color: Messing Around/Mixing Fabrics

The principle here is expressed by Roberta Horton: "I love fabric, so quilts made with a lot of different fabrics give me more to look at, more to love.  I am forced to read the entire surface of the quilt to find all the variety in the fabric patterns and colors.  It's sort of like a treasure hunt."

We'll talk a little color language, but the Travelling Patches will let you play around with personality and scale as well.

Bring friends!  More people/opinions make this interactive workshop merrier and more instructive.  You'll solve a suite of problems (like 'baby coming'!  Choose fabrics for a navy nursery).  There are no wrong solutions.
