On May 1, NJMQG welcomed Heather Jones for a lecture and workshop.

During her color theory lecture, she talked about Josef Albers and theories about how colors interact. There were pictures of her quilts, and the Q&A was a definite highlight.

On Saturday, May 2, it was workshop time! Heather showed guild members how to make improv pineapples, and everyone had fun. Most attendees made at least two blocks.

Heather’s samples.

Demonstration time.

Student blocks.

Stella made a teeny tiny pincushion pineapple.

We had the perfect design wall in the LDS church gym. Huge thanks to Stephanie and Colleen for being our hosts.

At the end of class, Heather concluded with some observations and discussion.

It’s a little blurry, but here’s the whole group!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this event a success.
