Donna Mae Norris Presents "Color for Quilters"

 

EVQG members were treated to Donna Mae Norris' presentation on color at the May 10th  meeting. Donna Mae used a color wheel and a variety of quilts to illustrate aspects of color theory and color choices in quilts.

 

 

On Thursday, May 11 Donna Mae taught an all day class on color where each participant created a personal notebook using fabric swatches to illustrate aspects of color theory. Participants learned a lot about color and had fun playing with fabric and working on their notebooks.

 

 



 

 

 

Show and Tell is always a favorite element of our meetings. Take a look at these beautiful creations.

 

 

Linda Swoboda brought the stunning Silo Quilt to display at our meeting before it is installed in its permanent location in the Silo Conference Room at the Event Center. The quilt was commissioned by the Town of Estes Park and made by several guild members. Watch for a future post on this beautiful quilt.

 

 

  



Donna Mae Norris Will Present "Color For Quilts" at May 10th Meeting

 

Join us on May 10, 2017 for Donna Mae Norris'  presentation

"Color For Quilts"

 

Build your confidence in choosing colors for your quilts in Donna Mae Norris’ talk about how to use color in quilts and be inspired by seeing dozens of quilts with examples of various color schemes.  You will learn about optical mixing, how to use a color wheel, and how to choose colors to get the theme or mood you desire in your quilt.  Every quilt is a piece of art and color is a very important design element in art.

 

Quilt making has been Donna Mae Norris’ passion for over 30 years.  She has made every size bed quilt plus wall hangings, and enjoys making every style from traditional and modern to art quilts.  Her quilts have been exhibited all around the U.S. and she has won numerous awards in competitions including Quilt Festival in Houston.  She was one of the owners of The Patchworks Quilt Shop in south Longmont in the early ‘90’s.

 

Because Donna Mae loves sharing her enthusiasm for quilt making, she has been teaching extensively at quilt shops and quilt guilds all around Colorado and other states for over 28 years.  She teaches classes for both adults and children, and has taught all styles of quilts and at every skill level for each technique.

 

By putting together fabrics for her own quilts and helping students and customers put together fabrics for their quilts, she has tremendous experience choosing color in quilts.  She has also taken art classes and color classes starting in college and continuing into her quilting years.  Donna Mae will share her knowledge about how to use color in your quilts today.
