Peaks 7 Recap – Day 3 – Playing with Colour & other Toys

Day 3 developed differently for the two sessions of Peaks. On the schedule, we were to be doing the Playing with Colour workshop. I also try to be flexible. With the first session, it seemed that everyone wanted to push forward with their Swirls so we postponed the workshop to Sunday morning.

The day produced plenty of advances and finishes…

Session 7.2 went a bit differently. The Playing with Colour workshop provided a nice change of focus. Using Jinny Beyer’s colour blending method as a base, we explored a few different theories behind how we process colour as well as how we can use different tools to alleviate some of the sensory overload that can happen with trying to choose colours for a quilt.

It didn’t take long before everyone was blending and pulling all sorts of pleasing combinations.

After lunch, the ladies jumped right back in and carried on with their Swirls and other projects.

We even had a quick tutorial on how to use the Bloc_Loc rulers. I need to get some for the BNQ Mobile Shop! 🙂

After yet another luscious meal for dinner, we sat down for a “friendly” game of Dice Swap. I think everyone has a different idea of friendly but it sure was fun!
