It Is A Busy MonthIt is a busy month for me. I will be teaching in New York for the Manhattan Quilters on the 10th and 11th, a lecture and my artful log cabins class.
Retail: $4,200
Retail: $2,240
Retail: $2,140
Then back near home on the 16th and 17th in Ferndale at Stitch to do a two day Artful log cabin class
Then to Colorado to Woodland Park on the 23rd and 24th for a lecture and another Artful log cabin class, with a hop down to Santa Fe to teach at the quilt shop a new composition class and a one day value class.
I will get to visit with my friends there and check on my house. I would love for my house in Santa Fe to sell so I can be free in California. But it looks like if the buyer is not a quilter they don’t know what to do with my beautiful studio and if the husband doesn’t need a really neat shop……. so if you need either or both check it out 235 Rancho Alegre Rd, Santa Fe. NM
Having a great time in Fortuna California. It has been a beautiful summer filled with family and friends.
love and hugs

Online Classes
Join Katie and 10 others in one of the new dynamic online classes with personal critiques and feedback to spark and enrich your creativity.
Color and Composition Online Class
I ve designed 8 lessons for you to interpret and incorporate your own creative ideas. You ll have 2 weeks to complete each lesson before sending a digital picture to me and I will then post all pieces in a private Yahoo group in your own file. I will give every participant a personal, thorough critique of each lesson, when the final piece is turned in I will give a final critique advising you on your strong points and where I think you should focus your creative energies. All critiques are personal and private. This is a personal in-depth study.
Working in a Series Online Class
Retail: $8,750
A series is a group of works that continues an idea from one piece to the next. It is a way to create unified pieces that give an individual voice to your work and to get deeper into your work through technique, design and color. Come to the class with one piece completed to become the starting point of five more pieces for a total of 6 in the series (more if you would like).

NOW Airing:
Watercolor to Quilt-Create abstract watercolor paintings using eight different painting techniques. Combine these techniques and multiply the fun. Play with bubbles, cups, rubber cement, masking fluid, air, gravity, stamps, and ink to produce a collection of colorful paintings. Then, choose one favorite and crop it to find the most dynamic part. Katie shows how to enlarge the area, make templates, and turn that watercolor creation into a fabulous art quilt. Learn how to choose and place the fabrics, building from the top down, until you have a quilt that looks like a watercolor painting! The best part? No painting experience is needed, so jump in and turn yourself into a painter and art quilter all in one exciting class! Go to iquilt.com and register and see this video.
Color Theory for Quilters - Develop your own sense of color with Katie Pasquini Masopust in this inspiring tutorial. While Katie teaches, she suggests practice exercises to apply what is being presented. Create a fabric color wheel while learning about the placement and interaction of color. Value is explained, along with classic color schemes. View multiple types of composition and study colors emerging from nature. Then, explore the true magic of color with examples of transparency. The interactive approach ensures that the content offered in this class will affect the way you see color in your projects and build confidence about your own color choices.

Artful Log Cabins - Join Katie as she combines her love of art and Log Cabin quilts in this creative class! First, she will guide you as you select an inspiration photo or painting. These Log Cabin designs can be made in square, diagonal, or wonky formats, giving a distinctive look to your project. Gathering the fabrics can be so much fun, and adding specialty fabrics is a great way to add some shimmer and shine. Cutting strips and doing simple, straight-line stitching moves along quickly, so in no time at all, this quilt top will be constructed and ready to quilt! Katie shows lots of quilts done in this approach, which provides ideas and additional inspiration. All the while, learn about composition and color value from one of the finest instructors in the industry. This is a wonderfully enjoyable class for beginners or experienced quilters alike.
