Afternoon Lecture // 2-3 pm

In her lecture, MJ Kinman, maker of giant gem quilts, will share four rules of color interaction and show how to apply them to your own quilt designs to create dramatic effects, regardless of your inspiration. Add sparkle to your quilts. Create dramatic focal points. Add exciting visual movement. Make your quilts glow. Create powerful transparencies. Alter the appearance of a color simply by pairing it with another color. Create the illusion of metal without using metallic fabric or thread. MJ's lecture is based on her new book, Cracking the Color Code: Master the Magic of Color Interaction, 2025, self-published. www.mjkinman.com
