Half-price, baby!

"Sunny Side Up" by Katie Pasquini Masopust (44"x44" quilt)

Who doesn’t love to get something at half-price? We want you to be in the loop—so be sure to check the “On Sale & Close Outs” section of our website. We update the selection every week, so there’s always something new!

This week, one of Katie Pasquini Masopust’s classic titles is featured, Color & Composition for the Creative Quilter. Co-authored by Brett Barker, this book should be on every quilter’s shelf. Even non-quilting artists and crafters will find these design exercises to be extremely valuable. From understanding the right side of your brain, to contour drawing, to color theory…this book is full of techniques and inspiration to improve your skills. As the authors point out, “creativity is nebulous, but the one thing we absolutely know is that the discipline of practice will increase your mastery.”

I particularly liked the lesson on non-representational composition…how to create something completely from my imagination, with no inspiration images to make it look “real”. Because that’s just the way I roll, baby. ;-)

Anyway, happy bargain shopping!!
