Hi Everyone, Thanks for stopping by. I can’t believe I made it through the whole winter and caught a cold the last week of spring. So I apologize for the gruff voice. After I started, I realized the topic was too big to tackle in one video. This one is specifically about What is a colour.

[wongalice]

This video makes me want to watch all of your videos! Love it, a fan already <3

[bonniestefanov]

You’re an amazing educator! Thank you!

[marianal]

I am really happy ai found your channel. Its been so helpful.

[nancynash]

You are just the best teacher! Thank you so much!

[pamhopkins]

Wow, Karen, I thought I understood colours, I’ve learn so much more. Thank you

[psutton]

Just now seeing this video. This explains a LOT! Thank you so much!

[kristinpetersen]

Wow! I had no idea when I hit play that I would be getting such an in depth explanation. Your examples of using the paint chips and then even the fabrics plus taking the black and white picture was great! Thanks!

[Megan-pxdr]

Brilliant! Comprehensive, but succinct. Thank you so much!!

[lauradee]

Finally it makes a bit more sense. Thank you!

[pamelah]

This is my favorite video series on color. I recommend it to every new quilter I meet.

[MsPotter]

I find this lady brilliant, she makes it so easy

[sharonandrews]

I have a graphic design background, but I haven’t in all my years working in the field see such a concise and succinct explanation. No flourishes or side bars, just straight, forward and easy-to-follow information. Kudos. I’m going straight into the rest of this series. Thank you SEW much!

[BeatrizHelton]

I love your tutorial on color, it's the most understandable explanation I've come across and I'm looking forward to your next videos. Thanks!

[heathercameron]

I cannot believe how much I didn't know about colour. I thought this video would be boring because I know about colour. Doesn't everybody? well no. Thank you so much. I have learnt so much. I cannot wait to get onto the next video but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you.

[Peach]

This is the best explanation of color to the uninitiated I’ve ever seen! Thank you!

[SK-knov]

You are the best quilting channel! Relatable, clear and to the point, and original topics. Thank you!

[theartsypixie]

Came back to this serious just to comment on the camera trick. I love using my B&W filter to see the values! It's made picking fabrics to use in my quilts so much easier. I've also used it for my paint swatch. I take a picture of my swatches then print it out and stock it down under the swatch paper. Woohoo!❤❤❤

[Gartendame]

That was the cleanest explanation I've heard in all my decades. Thank you.

[andyfranzmeier]

You explained color value, hues, saturation where I understood it. I am gob smacked!
