 OMQG August Meeting

Westside Community Center
August, 2nd @6:30pm

3534 S 108th St Omaha, NE

Tori McElwain with The Quilt Patch by Tori will be joining us virtually to give us her program called Color Confidence for Quilters. From her site: "In this program, I demystify the sometimes intimidating task that is choosing a fabric color palette. I teach about Color Theory basics in a way that is really concrete and easy to understand, providing several "color formulas" for choosing your next palette, as well as some secret designer tricks that can instantly turn a fabric palette from dull or off to fabulous.

In addition to learning about the science of color, I teach about pattern mixing, as well as how to pull inspiration from art or nature to build a unique and beautiful color story.

With lots and lots of quilting-specific examples and tips, this program will help even the most color confused quilters gain confidence in their ability to put together an interesting palette.”

Meeting starts at 6:30 with social hour starting at 6. Westside Community Center. We will have the meeting streaming via zoom and links will go out either tomorrow or Tuesday.

Please remember to bring all your show and tells along with fabrics for One Common Thread. Please see image below for more details.

See you Tuesday!!!
