Exploring Colors! with Dyann Black



As you wander into a quilt store and absorb all the wonderful creations that surround you, do you get a bit overwhelmed with thoughts of “Oh, that’s beautiful, but I could never do that!”  What about when you see a really terrific pattern for something and are just drawn to it but really do not like the colors of that particular project?  Well, we've got a class just for you……It’s called EXPLORING COLORS!  The class is Saturday, May 18th from 10:30-4:00 with a break for lunch.  We are going to learn how to explore the color wheel in a really fun way that you will be able to use in all of your art and even in your personal style. 

Class fee includes the pattern Let’s Play Hearts by Atkinson Designs and 3 fat quarters you'll choose day-of-class from the Hip Stitch FQ table (you may choose Desert Bird or other HS exclusive fabric precut fat quarters for an additional $1 per FQ).

Dyann will get you started on your project and well on your way, but please do not expect to finish your project in class. 

Note, because Dyann is an out of town instructor, a minimum of 6 students are required for this class to "make". Per Hip Stitch Class Policies, no refunds/store credit will be given for cancellations for this class, however, you MAY transfer your registration to a friend/relative that would like to take the class if you are unable to make it.
