Our 2020 Retreat is booked!
Our meeting topic was: Using Vectornator, a free vector design app. Ailish showed us how the app works and explained how we can create shapes, add color, and duplicate design elements to potentially create our own quilt designs. It was really fun to see how a simple shape could be so much more by changing scale, color, and angle to make an effective design.
Show and Tell
