Lit from Within Workshop – MJ Kinman 03/21/26

On March 21, 2026, from 9:00-12:00, MJ Kinman will teach a half-day color workshop called “Lit From Within: Make Your Quilts Glow Using the Magic of Color Interaction.” The workshop will be held in the Arrowrock South Meeting Room at the Hampton Inn/ Boise Spectrum, 7499 W Overland Rd, Boise, ID 83709.

The workshop is open to everyone — guild members and the general public alike!– for $35. Ticket sales will open on Jan. 1st, and refunds for cancellations may be requested until March 1, 2026.

Please note that the content of this workshop overlaps with the “Cracking the Color Code” workshop being offered on March 20th, so we recommend that participants register for only one (not both!) of these two workshops!

Kit Fee: $5 (for color wheel and fabric)

After introducing you to the four rules of color interaction, MJ Kinman will lead you on a deep-dive into the fourth rule – saturation contrast. Using fabric squares of different hues and saturation levels, you’ll learn how to combine colors to create a glowing effect in your quilts, as though they were lit from within.

This class is an exploration of just one of the topics presented in MJ’s new book “Crack the Color Code: Add Drama to Your Designs Using the Secrets Color Interaction.” There is no sewing in this class.

Supplied by Instructor:

• Fabric strips and squares for experimentation
