 Outside the Lines
Jean Wells
$60
Fri & Sat, February 10 & 11 9:30-3:00
The quilts from Gee's Bend have fascinated me since I first saw them. They are the inspiration for this workshop. Working intuitively is a fun approach to quilt design and can produce astounding results. In this workshop we will explore design options as well as techniques with some exercises and then participate in a discussion on color. The rest of the time will be spent on your own exploration into working "Outside the Lines". Your challenge will be to work in a color palette new to you and to explore design. Refer to my books Journey to Inspired Art Quilting and Intuitive Color and Design for ideas.
