Description

Type of Workshop: Computer Based Design combined with Piecing.

Workshop Description:

Ready to take your quilts to the next level with gorgeous, intentional color choices— and then actually use them? This full-day workshop takes you from discovery to creation, combining the art of color design with hands-on sewing so you leave with both a custom palette and a finished project to show for it. In the morning, we’ll dig into where to find inspiration (hello, Pinterest!), learning how to use key words to uncover the colors and themes you’re naturally drawn to. We’ll explore the basics of color theory in a simple, fun way using tools like Coolors.co to create your very own color palettes.

Then we’ll dive into how value and contrast can make or break a design, using digital tools like QuiltInk.com and Quilty Solid to test out your ideas before cutting into fabric. You’ll walk away from the first half with an inspiration board full of ideas, custom palettes you love, and quilt mock-ups ready to go.

In the afternoon, we’ll put those palettes to work! Using your newly created color combinations and a provided pattern, you’ll sew a small project from fabric scraps— a hands-on way to see your color vision come to life in real fabric. It’s a fun, creative day that’ll leave you excited to tackle your next quilt with confidence!
