If you are a quilter that has lived anywhere in the Colorado Front Range in the past ten years you have probably seen or heard about “THE COLOR CLASS” taught by my friend Heather Thomas.
Heather is one of the most innovative and passionate artists I know and she developed a yearlong class that covers classical color theory with a healthy helping of design thrown in for good measure. Each class she introduces a new color concept and the “homework” is to create a quilt or other piece of art using that concept. By the time you are done you have made 12 quilts/projects and your have learned tons of stuff about color and design. The whole time I was taking this class I kept yearning for a book. Well, I think enough of us begged her so she has finally written one and it is really really great. If you have always wanted to know more about color and want an in depth book written primarily for quilters and fiber artists then this is the one for you. Each chapter not only has the information on a particular color concept but TONS of gorgeous photographs that illustrate her point. It’s going to be a classic reference I am sure. If you are interested, and I know you are, go to Heathers website and order your copy today.
Here is a link to her website (don't forget to check out all the yummies):

This New Year, if your thinking a new hobby is in order perhaps, woodworking is growing in popularity. I found a site with good content in this area and more. Saws, drills, (corded and cordless) backup power, and Sales on Toys for Christmas. Check it out at- www.dewaltconstructionequipment.com
