My Color Palette

Thursday, January 19th - I am honored to be part of a color study on Victoria Findlay Wolfe's blog - Bumble Beans; click HERE to read all about it.  This is my color palette, bold, bright and fun.
 I often find myself using the same three colors - red, royal blue and lime green in my work.  Tea Fairy House - 2011 - Quilting Arts Magazine Oct/Nov 2011 issue "Put a little zip in your art quilts."

  2. I look forward to hearing more about this color study. I love your colors and playing with color, but I never really feel comfortable with making color choices. Definitely need to take some classes on color.

  7. Thank you so much for all of your positive comments about my color palette. I use commercial fabrics, hand-dyes and Batiks. I must confess that Hoffman Batiks are my most favorite fabrics to use in my work.
