I spent a beautiful Sunday at
Christine Barnes' Luminosity Workshop in Aptos with a bunch of lively wonderful women from
PVQA.

Class Sample and Design Wall for Demo |
The color theory and auditioning of fabric was a blast.

Practice layout of a few of my bits |
The pattern is so forgiving and smart - little fabric waste and few joints to match. I will definitely be using it often. The wheels are turning in my designing brain to make it with my own special spin.

Cut Demo to help me remember |

OOPS - cools shouldn't be squares! |
I tried to travel light and pre-cut squares including my cools without reading the class supply correctly. Hubby fetched me the batik bucket and came to the rescue. It was a blessing since I got to do lots of sharing and fabric swapping.

I'll post a final top layout and tell you more about Christine's lecture from last nights meeting. She even let me take a picture with her!
Happy Quilting -
Looks like fun...the quilt looks great.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!! I have 2 of her books and love them.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a lovely day. And that pattern looks like one to investigate. Will check her out, too. Always looking for more learning opportunities.
