Hopefully you can join us at our meeting on Thursday, April 4th . We will be hosting our in person speaker Cole Whitaker! Guests are welcome at our meetings! If you wish to attend via Zoom, please see your meeting link in your email from Mo.
There will be door prize at the end of the meeting. Must be present in person or via Zoom to win!
“In this presentation, you will be introduced to Inkscape which is an open-source graphic design program. You will learn some basics of how to use tools within the program and how the program can be used to create quilt patterns. The class will cover how to choose a picture, how to draw a quilt block, how to create a swatch chart and how to save and organize files. In this process, you will learn how to draw quilt blocks that can easily be printed on your home computer. By the end of the presentation, you will know what you need to know in order to draw your own quilt pattern from scratch.”
Typically, Cole teaches his technique as a class, but since this is a 1 hour presentation as opposed to a workshop, it is not realistic that someone would be able to follow along and complete a pattern in that time. The idea is that you should know enough to go home and try. You may bring a laptop with the program downloaded if you want to try to follow along. Here is the link to the download. (it doesn’t work on ipads). https://inkscape.org/
