I was feeling well enough this morning to drive south to Dana Point for the Surfside Quilters Guild meeting. I went to take the photos and because I wanted to meet with the member who may want to be my backup. I don't miss many meetings as I do enjoy the group so much, but with increasing age and health problems, I must sometimes miss a meeting.
The speaker today was Joanna Figueroa from Fig Tree Quilts. She is a pattern designer and fabric designer for Moda. Website: http://figtreeandcompany.com Her blog: https://blog.figtreeandcompany.com
She has an interesting color theory which make her quilts soft and muted, but not actually pastel. The darkest color is what she calls "warm black" and has a small patterning.
The quilting is done by a cadre of long-arm quilters.
There were several quilts with dark backgroumds, the warm black or shades of warm grey.
Many of her blocks are repeated in different quilt patterns, most using the sew/flip method she prefers.
