June Meeting (Zoom) with Claudia Shearer - Color Stories

Color Stories: What you really need to know about color to design stunning quilts.

Color Stories is a 1-hour lecture that takes a deep dive into the exploration and application of color theory for quilters. You don’t need a color wheel to design quilts that use color effectively! Instead, I’ll share skills, tips, and tricks to help you create effective color stories—whether bold, subtle, or nuanced—with confidence. Through a showcase of my quilts, I’ll illustrate key lessons I’ve learned about using color—how it carries emotional weight, sets a mood, and tells a story. Whether you're looking to refine your color sense or break out of a color rut, this lecture will leave you inspired to see color in new ways and use it more intentionally in your work.
