QuiltCon Charity Quilt
We have finished the QuiltCon Charity Quilt! After the quilt debuts at QuiltCon 2018 in Pasadena, California, we will donate it to East End Hospice. It is our hope that the quilt will used as a raffle quilt so that they may raise money for the Children's camp called Camp Good Grief. This camp is a bereavement camp for grieving children and teenagers.
This is their mission statement which appears on our quilt:
"Camp Good Grief. Where children and teenagers begin to heal."
Here are a few snippets of the quilt:

Julie's creative quilt for her nephew. Great Colors!Guest Speaker: Vicki Field
Vicki Field is a musician, artist & teacher. She gave a lecture on Color Theory and how it's use in your artwork and design.
She demonstrated the use of primary and secondary colors through watercolor paints, her primary medium. It was interesting to see color through a painter's palette.
It is very important to keep color in mind when you are designing your quilts.
Warm color vs Cool Color. Color can set the mood of your artwork . Warm colors (red, orange & yellow) will make you feel vibrant and energetic. It draws the viewer into the artwork. While cool colors (blue, green purple) make you feel calm and relaxed. Cool colors will make your artwork recede.
It was interesting to look at the use color through painters eyes. She feels that artists, whether their paint is watercolor or fabric, should use color to tell a story and to draw the viewer into and around their piece of work.
The use of "cool" colors
Thank you, Vicki. It was so nice to see your artwork. You are very talented! Thank you for showing us the importance of color in our artwork.
