LOTS OF INFO IN THIS NEWSLETTER...LET'S DIVE RIGHT IN...
AURIFIL COLOR BUILDERS CLUB
Month three of the Aurifil Color Builders brings us to the Dolomites, a mountain range located in Northeastern Italy. With over 40 major peaks, they are renowned worldwide for their majesty, and are a destination for skiing, mountain climbing, hiking, and hang gliding. Surrounding the mountain range are lush Alpine meadows, boasting various shades of rich green hues, stretching to the deep tones of the evergreens beyond. Lago di Braies, the great lake nestled deep in the mountains, sparkles in the distance, sharing a dazzling display of colors that shifts from emerald to sapphire. The Dolomite Color Builder features 3 shades of 50wt thread in 2908, 1147, and 2890… a tribute this magical Italian gem.
Members of the club receive a FREE monthly BOM that includes fabric and the pattern to coordinate with the color of the month!
This group will get together to work on the block on Thursday, March 26 from 2-4pm.
