Description
The world of antique quilts would not be the same without chrome orange. The modern quilt movement would not be the same without mango. Or tangerine. Or cantaloupe. Injecting a quilt with orange is a declaration of energy, vitality, and verve. In this live web seminar with Mary Fons, learn all about oranges in your quilts and be inspired (as usual!) by the Color Me Quilter fabric selection “show.” Plus, this live web seminar comes with a BONUS LESSON on storing quilts (and fabric) the right way!
Attendees will get a crash course in storing your finished quilts and fabrics all while learning about using orange in your quilts – register today!
