Lea McComas, “Color Theory for Quilters”, February 16, 2023, 12 pm-3 pm, BVCC In-person

Lea’s lecture, Color Theory for Quilters,  will address key concepts for quilters related to the selection and use of color in quilting. Topics will include:

  • The Color Wheel
    A history and composition of the color wheel
  • Color Schemes
    Combinations that work, and fixing those that don’t
  • Value
    Why light vs. dark is actually more important than color
  • Temperature
    The visual and emotional effects of colors and proportions: some colors are timid, others are bullies, learn to manage them so that they all play well together.

Scotti  McCarthy, RMQM, “Red and White Quilts Lecture and Trunk Show” ,  March 16, 2023, 12pm-3pm, BVCC

Join us in person, as Scotti McCarthy of the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum presents a lecture and trunk show featuring an array of beautiful red and white quilts.   Who hasn’t been captivated by the eye-catching beauty of a red-and-white quilt? These stunning quilts can be a simple design of a patchwork quilt or the intricate design of a Mariner’s Compass. Red and white quilts run the gamut of time from the early 1800s to contemporary studio art quilts. RMQM brings you a wonderful collection of red-and-white quilts in a PowerPoint presentation as well as hands-on quilts for all to view and touch. This meeting will be held at the Boulder Valley Christian Church.  For more information, contact Pam Breig, vp-programs@quakingaspenquiltguild.org.
