Join us for the November membership meeting featuring Colleen McFarlin’s lecture on Color Theory/Variation

Colleen started sewing at age 14 and attended a vocational high school for fashion design, where she learned to make my first quilt. She graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design with a degree in Fibers. Colleen’s quilts have been displayed in galleries from Seattle to Savannah. In 2016, her quilt ‘Finding Home’ was displayed at QuiltCon in Pasadena, CA and placed 3rd in the Flying Geese Challenge by American Patchwork + Quilting Magazine. She also proudly had quilts published in 2 different issues of Curated Quilts.

“Quilting is an incredible art form – it is creative, beautiful, challenging, exciting, frustrating, and wonderful! I am so incredibly proud to be a part of this community as a quilt shop owner of Beyond the Bolt in Bristol RI, pattern designer, teacher, and overall quilt enthusiast.”

In this lecture, Colleen will discuss what color theory is and why it matters within quilting. She will go over the color wheel, explore different values, and look at samples that go over both. Color value is so important in the success or failure of a quilt, and it’s important for quilters to see how to successfully use color and value!
