Banner

One of my aunt's favourite expressions was a "red letter" day.  Well, we had a multi-coloured day!  This is our banner that we all contributed to, with the letters done by Linda and the quilting by Colleen.  We all love it!

Colour was a prominent factor in much of the day's discussions.  A talented artist,  Diane St-Georges gave Heather some help with her colour, and certainly suggested colour additions to my work.  And since much of our work is quite bright (should I say dynamic?) it added to the theme of the day.  We learned a lot about focal points, moving the eye around a composition, balance, intersecting the edges of the piece and there was more, but my mind is overflowing at the moment!  Very exciting, and inspirational.

  1. Doesn't our banner look terrific? We are going to have a bookmark printed up with this image as a publicity flyer for our May show.

  3. Banner looks great. Strong design. Fun. Good idea to have bookmarks made to advertise yourselves.

    I am very 'envious' of your session with Diane St-Georges. You must all have been on a high after that.

    Funnily, I have been talking to fellow quilters recently about the need to have a mentor - it seems to ring a bell with most of us.
