COLOR US HAPPY

Last Wednesday evening, the Sew-phist-i-cuts got a lesson in using a color wheel.  Most of us are familiar with rudimentary color wheels that show the three primary and the three secondary colors.  Group leader Peggy Norton demonstrated a color wheel tool (Dritz makes this particular one) that we could use to coordinate colors in all sorts of ways  Although the tool comes with some fairly extensive directions, Peggy walked us through the basics and then demonstrated with fabric samples from her own stash.  Many of us could see immediately how this would help us in choosing fabrics to go together, whether for quilts or clothing.  The color wheel tool is also useful when deciding on colors for home decorating.
