Who Else Wants to Unlock the Mysteries
of Color in Fabric – and Reduce the Amount of Time You Spend Picking the Perfect Fabric, So You Can Have More Time to Enjoy Your Finished Quilt?

From: Penny Halgren

Greetings,

If you are anything like I am, picking the right fabric for your quilt is one of the most challenging things about making a quilt.

Sometimes it takes what seems like hours pondering “this fabric” or “that fabric.”

Then there’s the fabric stash.  Each time I’m in one of my local fabric shops, it’s easy to find a fabric that I just know will be “perfect” in a future quilt. Being a normal quilter, I buy a yard of it and add it to my stash.

But, when it comes time for the “next” quilt, none of the fabric in my stash is even close to the right color, so I go back to the quilt shop in search of more fabric.

And what is the right fabric, anyway?

In Color Play, we found:

Chapters featuring 24 colors, their characteristics, and the combinations that make them look fabulous in a quilt design Sample fabric arrangements that make color concepts easy to understand Information about color “scales” - the variations of pure color, tints, shades, and tones - and how they affect the mood of a quilt Stunning nature photography that helps relate the dynamic colors of summer, the fragile hues of spring A luscious gallery of over 70 colorful quilts illustrating Joen’s techniques for choosing colors Irresistible illusions to create using color - highlights, shadows, depth, transparency, and more

Since then, Joen has published a new resource, Visual Coloring: A Foolproof Approach to Color-Rich Quilts.

Using visual coloring, selecting colors you love in nature and duplicating the effect in your work becomes easy and makes your quilt stand apart from all others.

In this beautiful resource, Joen shows exactly how she uses photographs and pictures from magazines to select colors and fabrics for her quilts.

She also tells how a photograph inspires a quilt. And walks you, step-by-step, through the process so you can do the exact same thing.

Now You Can Hear Joen Firsthand - and Ask Your Burning Question About How to Choose the Right Colors for Your Quilt

Although Joen is a busy lady - writing books, creating quilts and teaching all over the globe - she has found time to squeeze us into her busy schedule.

She'll be on our Eavesdrop on a Telephone Conversation on September 10, beginning at 5pm Pacific Time, 6pm Mountain Time, 7 pm Central Time and 8 pm Eastern Time.

This once in a lifetime opportunity to listen to Joen and ask your quilting color question live is better than driving and hauling all your quilting gear to attend a workshop. You can relax in the comfort of your home, Eavesdrop and then ask Joen your question.

By the end of the evening call, you should be able to plan your next quilt and feel confident that the colors and fabrics you choose will amaze your family and friends and show them just how creative you are. You will understand:

In short, Joen's system for choosing colors for your quilts is almost as simple as finding pictures you like or taking photographs of your favorite places at your favorite time of day.

Now you have a reason to book that vacation - you'll be taking pictures for your next quilt. Or spend a day gazing at photos from your favorite vacations and choose some with fabulous color combinations.

And because there is so much information, you'll want to both listen to the call, and get a copy of the CD so you can listen to it whenever you want.

Even after jotting down notes, it's amazing how much we forget when we hear something only one time. Plus, I don't know about you, but trying to find notes I took evan two weeks ago can present a challenge sometimes.

Besides, we all know that stuff happens in the background when we're on the phone - the dog barks, the baby decides it's time to complain about a dirty diaper, or someone comes in looking for a cold drink.

It's especially easy to get distracted when it's not you primarily involved in the conversation.

The bottom line is that for a small investment of $24.97 - before the call - you can have this recorded call and pull it out when your Enquiring Quilting Mind has a specific question. After the call, the price goes up to $27.97.

This could be a great holiday gift. After all, it's not too soon to start gathering presents for family, friends, and maybe even helping them out by getting your own presents.

Or, if you are in Germany, Bolivia or Romania, maybe you would rather sleep, and rely on other quilters to answer your question.

Because we are getting this CD professionally edited and copied, the quality should be excellent. And, we are armed with information so folks can mute themselves out and reduce the background noise.

By registering for the FREE call, you will get all of the information about the call, including the list of questions and worksheets. That way, you'll know exactly what to expect and be prepared with your buring question when the lines open up.

Remember, the call is free, although you may have to pay long distance charges.

Yes! Register me for the call.

Happy Quilting!
