Pamela Allen’s Workshop
I’ve been taking a workshop, Think like an Artist, from the wonderful Pamela Allen online at QuiltersKeepLearning. This first effort was a study in black and white fabrics. I loved the title of this book, and thought the juxtaposition of the apocalyptic and the mundane was irresistible. It is the first time I have made a quilt to match the title:
The End of America With Shoes and Wineglass
The 2nd lesson added color, either an analogous palette or one with complementary colors. With lots of helpful suggestions from Pamela, I put together my desert scene. Nothing is actually sewn down as yet, but unlike the black and white piece, which is destined to live only in the cyberworld, I am going to start sewing on this one as soon as I get some time.

How come you’re not going to quilt the black & white? It is very evocative! The color study is gorgeous. How big are these?

Good stuff — love that B/W piece.
I’m going to have to see if there’s room in Pamela’s March class.

I love the pieces. Contrast and colors are wonderful. I’m signed up for March and so excited. Please keep posting you projects. I’m drooling all over the keyboard

Oo la la! I really like the desert scene. To my eye, the colors pulsate; the shapes are very organic and great, too. Can’t wait to see how you finish BOTH of these.
