More colorful versus first Octagon Shimmer which is hanging at Quilt Con for any of you lucky people planning to Pasadena next month. Moreover it had various difficulties because my brand-new collection, Shimmer 2, has such shade. I will be addressing color alternatives and balance during my future workshop at Cotton Patch. Whenever working with many shade, it's important to learn both hue and price additionally the commitment they should each other into the numerous combinations it is possible to arrange them in. It is critical to provide breathing room. It is important to team like colors collectively so transitions are pleasing. you need to comprehend price and exactly how it keeps some thing from becoming also bland or level searching. Value will offer drama without hitting you within the mind along with it. In any great artwork, the singer has actually mastered the understanding and use of price. And yes it is very important to place the boring, dirty and weak hued colors in a quilt. They let the wealthy, brights to shine a lot more.

I'm training this three-day workshop, OCTAGON SHIMMER at Cotton Patch in Lafayette, California the week-end of Friday February 5-7 where we're going to discover this design and how to decide on shade effectively. The Cotton Patch just got the brand new textile in filled with bolts and precuts!

I used the complete collection for Octagon Shimmer Quilt above making use of just FQ towers. I cannot worry sufficient the necessity of most of the "colors" you did not observe at first. Look once more and just study the quiet ones. Fool around with the display screen by supporting your hand/fingers to pay for the brights and see exactly how different it seems without all of them. Then look again at the top quilt to discover essential the non bright tend to be. Additional go through the landscape into the background void of all color except sky blue. Yet the drama of white to black colored is stunning. See just what I Am Talking About?

Showing slightly detail of prints. Peeking on the left is my "Matisse" doodle, HST print, true grass-green yarn-dye, ticking time printing, etc.All are centered on small wonderings that i've. I positively love the yarn dyes. They are the best value available. Therefore good to utilize and wash beautifully without losing any shape.

Detail of most the yarn dyes into the team. They standalone too! But i prefer them best combined with the prints.

Studio mess is obviously essential when creating. Fun, dynamic, scary in some instances, exhilarating and very, extremely rewarding!
