Take Your Color Confidence to the Next Level with The Quilter's Color Guide!

Hello fellow quilters and color enthusiasts!

As one of the editors of "The Quilter's Color Guide: Mastering the Art of Color Confidence," I'm thrilled to share with you the excitement and passion that went into creating this comprehensive resource. This book is more than just a guide – it's a journey into the heart of color and its transformative power in quilting. I have been teaching Joen Wolfrom’s color tools for 10+ years and I have gained color confidence and curiosity during this time. I started off demoing The Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool, showing how to create triadic and complementary color combinations. Many years later my new favorite is the Essential Color Card Deck! It has both grayscale and neutral cards, which are a game changer. This book is my idea of what every quilter needs to know about color.
