Learn to change your photos into quilt patterns…

margaret | January 21, 2012

The holidays are behind us and the kids are back in school,
now is the time to treat yourself to an online class!

This class was developed because so many of you wanted to learn
the technique used to create super realistic portrait quilts.

The nice thing about this technique is you don’t have to know how to draw.
The computer does the work for you!

This is a sample video of what to expect in the class.
Three sets of videos are available (and you can watch any/all of them)
to accommodate your software.
Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, & the free software Gimp.

The image on the left is the original photo, at right is the quilt.

This is a 4 week online class – work at your convenience!

Videos to pause and work along, tips and extra software instruction,
recess, handouts, and homework.

Next class begins Feb. 11, 2012

We’ve saved a seat in class just for you!

More information begins at:

Registration is now open!

Still time to make these for Christmas!

margaret | December 2, 2011

Yep, you still have time to make each of these for Christmas!

Oldest granddaughter (whose birthday is today) asked me to crochet
Alice in Wonderland and the white rabbit for her Christmas Gift.
I had not picked up a crochet hook in quite some time, but
you know what happens when a grandchild requests!

She found the pattern at www.kandjdolls.etsy.com and I
surprised her by making them for her birthday. They were both easy to make,
and you still have time to make and give them!
By the way, the mad hatter and the cheshire cat are also in the pattern.

Above are two easy to complete Christmas quilts.
Both patterns are at www.patterns2quilt.com

This is the fourth season we have offered fun patterns
for the children to make ornaments for the Christmas tree.
Lower right is the new one for this season. All are free.
They can be printed on card stock or on fabric.
Ready for the children to color and decorate.
Find them under free patterns at:
