MEETING RECAP
We had a huge turnout for our first meeting of 2019. 23 members and 6 guests joined us for a night of learning about Color Theory.
First, Claudia handed over the position of guild president to Monique. There were announcements and group introductions before we has show and tell.
Wendy showed her new HST quilt top finish, Laura finished her second Boulder MQG BOM quilt top, and Katie L. showed off her shoe bag pattern and an awesome oversized hexie quilt.
After show and tell, Rebecca and Laura lead us in the first of two presentations on Color Theory. We learned about value, tone, and basic colors. There may have been some head scratching, color theory can be complex, but the 2019 Color Study Block of the Month quilt was introduced. All year we will have an opportunity to dig deeper into color theory with monthly lessons and color prompts on the blog. Learn more here.
Members can download the presentation and also a color theory terms reference guide in the Member Area.
Join us in February as we dive into color harmonies and more details of color theory.
