In my 45 min. program we will start to explore our relationship with color and by learning how to use just a few simple tools, become fearless putting together palettes that reflect your unique style.

I teach color to be approachable and specific to quilting. I also wanted to bring together both the art and science of color.

Keeping in mind an eye for color is absolutely something that can be learned. Using fun interactive exercises, students learn how to pull together wonderful  eye-catching palettes for any project.

Our combined programs give a great overview of our workshops. First Kinney will dive into the Art AND Science along with the four elements of color followed by Gail's breakdown of the Scrappy Applique process and helpful tips and tricks.
