August Guest Speaker, Cindy Griselda on Artful Improv, and Workshop

 

Our guest speaker, Cindy Grisdela, spoke about artful improvisational quilting.  She talked about color harmonies and ways to use color in an improv piece.

These are examples Cindy shared at our meeting.

She shared many ways to sew curves.

Maria always amazes us with her bold and thoughtful work!

We worked on different combinations of fabrics and colors to create the effect we wanted.

There are so many options of combining our blocks.

Heidi experimented with  light and dark color and different ways to assemble the blocks.

Blair's work
is always amazing.

Pat combined some fantastic colors and textures.

Linda made intrinsic choices to combine tiny pieces as an accent strip.

We had fun sharing and learning together.

Complementary colors really are effective in this piece.

Cindy Griselda shares advice with Blair.



We used design boards to plan our arrangement.

Cindy discussed color, curves, piecing, and effects with colors and textures as we listened
 to her expert explanations.

Curves and colors will change the effects of your piece.

Combining and arranging blocks was an important part of the workshop, 
as demonstrated by Cindy.

Using all batiks was very successful.

We really concentrated on our work.

Tina got her top completed during the workshop on her featherweight.




Cindy was a wonderful speaker and we all felt very comfortable learning about curves in the workshop.  Everyone had their own ideas and the results were beautiful!
