Fallbrook Quilt Guild to host quilter Errea

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Quilt Guild will feature renowned quilter, teacher and author Grace Errea at its meeting Thursday, Jan. 4 at the Fallbrook Community Center, 341 Heald Lane. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.

Errea is the author of "Value in Quilt Design." She has been teaching quilting since 2000 but before that she taught for IBM, and not textiles, but programming. After she retired in 2005 she devoted herself to her quilting art. Errea is self-taught artist and her work illustrates exceptional primary use of value and secondary use of color.

"Value is not given a lot of discussion," Errea said. "Most attention is given to color. Value is what makes beautiful things glow, although most times color gets the credit."

The meeting is open to the public, however, there is a $5 charge for nonmembers to help cover program expenses. A workshop will take place Saturday, Jan. 6 at 9 a.m. at the Fallbrook Public Utility building. For further information about the workshop or meeting, visit http://www.fallbrookquiltguild.com.
