Joan Statz gave a course on Fabric Values. Color Tones, color contrast, and coordinating colors. Everyone received a copy of the Book Joan Published "Quilting with Color". She had examples of different colors, their values and how to test for them. Easiest ways, squint or take photo and change to black and white. This course applied to the HST exchange/challenge the Guild is currently doing.
Two member projects were shown. Sandy made a goat quilt and Joan a Paw Patrol quilt.
