Follow Me to "Sew Katie Did"

Yes, I've been stalking Katie Pedersen for a number of years....first seeing her quilts at QuiltCon 2013, then 2015 and 2017....well, you get the picture.   She's a quilter who bases herself firmly on tradition with a wonderful fresh and modern twist.  It's worthy of taking note of her use of  fabric, color and value.   Thus, here are a few of my favorite Sew Katie Did tutorials from her blog ~

Dated July 8, 2016 is Katie's Heart Strings quilt  ~ a  block tutorial.  It's a simple string quilt....with a valuable lesson in the use of color and value.  Yes, the layout is special too.    Be still, my heart. 

And her "Quilting With Magic Numbers" tutorial   done in August, 2011, is  a must try if you are wanting to do some serious random scrap-busting. 

And the same magic numbers technique in a more contemporary setting.

Katie says that most of us have a fabric stash extraordinaire and the value quilt is a fabulous use of all.   Katie couldn't have said it any better while describing her Value Quilts tutorial going back to March, 2009!  

She says "No worries on making fabrics match,

 we’re going to think in values, or the degree of lightness or darkness of a color."

Katie goes on to say that value is more important than color.....you'll just have to go there to benefit from her experience in working with value. 

 

It was so nice visiting Katie Pedersen via her blog....learning about color and the value of,
 along the way. 

  Hope you enjoy the visit too.
