Colors

Come, let me share my knowledge with you on how to understand color. Let’s take the fear out of choosing your fabrics.

Compass Points

with Kristie Munson

This is NOT a precision but an guided Improv.

You are given guidelines to follow in creating your block, so the end result will vary from mine. Staying consistent with each of your blocks will keep them similar.

It is a fun process. Let’s learn to loosen up!
