| Last Thursday at the Pride of the Prairie guild we were treated to an evening with Jinny Beyer. When I first started quilting, she was THE name and most famous quilter in the quilter's world. Her lecture was about color theory. We did a couple of exercises using her color palette to see color gradation and how they work together. |
| When she creates her quilts, she can have up to 25 color variance in her palette. All of these colors can be in one quilt. |
| Look at all the wonderful shades in this quilt. |
| Here is the quilt she created in remembrance of 9-11. She had a friend on board the plane that flew into the Pentagon. The center motif which is the Statue of Liberty represents her friend. |
| One of the outer rings of her remembrance quilt. |
| Another of her quilts she uses for color theory. |

| Here is a quilt top showing all the colors she uses in her palette. |
| It is not the greatest picture, but here is her remembrance quilt. It is beautiful and such a lovely tribute to her friend. There were a lot of guests in spite of the bad weather warning. It was so nice to meet one of the quilting legends. Have a great week, and happy quilting. Mary |
