Palmer/Pletsch - Other Activities and Highlights




A few of the ladies signed up for a color analysis, with Ethel Harms (Image Consultant).  Ethel using a remarkable technique to determine which colors are best for your hair, skin, and eye colors.  As part of the consultation, she creates a color palette using your very best colors.



Seriously, once you've had a color analysis, you will ask yourself, "Is this the best color for me?"  I used to think I could wear almost any color.  That's true.  Everyone can.  But is it the best color for your skin, hair, and eye color?  Above is Ethel and Lisa.  Ethel is telling the class about Lisa's color palette.  Ethel gave me a color consultation that revealed some surprises about the best colors for me.  Sorry I don't have my color palette yet.  It's on the way.  More on that later.

Ladies on the Veranda

After the four day fit workshop we were invited to Pati's house for dinner.  She gave us a tour and told stories about how she came to design patterns for McCall's. 


The history of the Haute Couture Fashion Dolls is detailed in Theatre de la Mode


We enjoyed lunch at two of Portland's famous restaurants:  On the shopping tour, we lunched at Whole Grain Store (restaurant)








During Teacher Training Day, we lunched at the McMenamins Edgefield restaurant.


Beautiful murals were painted on the walls and doors throughout McMenamins Edgefield.










Parting Shots: Marta Alto showed and told about one of her fabulous creations, a silk hearts quilt. 








These are the final highlights that I wanted to share.  Now, I'm back to sewing.



Thanks,
C

  5. How wonderful that you had access to these opinions and now you can use the experience to translate into your own style. I'm now looking at the new Pants book and I'm wondering if I should get that or the DVD
