My sewing buddy, Cathy, and I spent the morning in Charlotte, NC, with Wanda Hanson.
We learned about the color wheel, warm and cool colors, textures, contrasts and color values.
Wanda talked to us about her lovely quilts displayed in the gallery. I love to look at pictures of Wanda's quilts on her blog exuberantcolor. But Wanda's quilts are even more beautiful, vibrant and colorful when they are viewed in person.
Our last class exercise was to create a colorwash project with the 100 squares we had played with all morning. It was challenging and FUN. Wanda is an excellent teacher.
Before I left, I bought a beautiful quilted cobblestone mug rug, created by Wanda, and a bag of 100 yummy, beautiful batik squares.
It was a great class! I had a blast! Thank you, Wanda.

Looks like you enjoyed yourself.
Oh, lucky you getting to attend one of Wanda's classes! What fun it must have been!!!
You are welcome! It was so much fun to meet you and have you in my class!!
Glad you had such a wonderful opportunity - it's a little too far from Australia for me to attend!
(PS I came in from Wanda's blog).
You did a great job on your colorwash quilt! I've been following Wanda for a number of years now and am never disappointed. She probably has more energy and gets more done than anyone I know. It must have been a real treat to meet her in person! Thanks for sharing!
WOW! I was wondering if you'd attend Wanda's show, being it's so close - well, in your state. I've always liked your color sense, and Wanda's. Looks like we'll be seeing even more color here.
Hugs!
That does look like fun! What a beautiful quilt you ended up making.
Oh how fun to take a class of Wandas! I always love her work and enjoy her blog. Your colorwash is beautiful!
Awe...you are so LUCKY!! Glad you got to spend some time with Wanda. She knows so much and is so willing to share.
