Gyleen Fitzgerald
is coming to your guild!
“The Art of Color Blending”
We are delighted to have Gyleen Fitzgerald, a talented Maryland quilter, presenting our June 2 lecture on “The Art of Color Blending” and teaching a full day workshop on Thursday, June 3, 10-4, entitled “It Takes Seven Sisters.” Gyleen has taught locally and nationally and is best known for her incredible sense of color and design. She enjoys using traditional quilt patterns with fresh, contemporary colors and will show us how the blocks come alive with skillful color placement. The use of a special ruler and other tips and techniques will help make this quilt pattern easier. The cost of the workshop will be $45, plus a $5 pattern fee to the teacher. Contact Susan Sellers at sjsellers@aol.com for sign up information. For more information about Gyleen Fitzgerald, check out her web site at www.colourfulstitches.com. If you haven’t yet started that special quilt for the Nimble Fingers October quilt show, this is your chance to create a showstopper!
Paint Chip Challenge quilts will be due in June also. Attach a label to the back of your quilt and pin the three paint chips to the front at the bottom left corner. Remember that the suggested quilt size is between 30 to 40 inches per side and that all three paint chip colors must be used in the quilt, along with unlimited additional colors.
