BLENDED QUILTS
 
Learning to think about and use large scale prints in new ways will push you to “unlearn” what you know about contrast in quilt designs!  Inspiration is taken from quilts of the early 1800's.  You will be learning to choose fabrics that will work hard for you to make simple pieced designs look gloriously complex.

Esther Kleinkauf

Becky Goldsmith
LET'S TALK ABOUT COLOR

We walk around with our eyes open but how much do we really see?  It's amazing what you can learn about color just by paying attention!  Becky will share with you what she's figured out about color over the years and how she applies that knowledge, showing many of her own quilts as examples.
