I made this quilt a few months ago as a class sample, but now that the holidays are here I thought I would enter it in SewCalGal’s 2011 Christmas Quilt Show. If you have any Christmas or Winter themed quilts – especially if they are made with Kaleidoscope Kreator – you can enter too!  Deadline [...]

Many months ago, Sarah Vedeler & I decided to do a joint project for Quilting Arts TV Series 900. It seemed like a great idea at the time, but of course we didn’t start thinking about it until a month ago when both of our schedules had really filled up! Nevertheless, we found ourselves traveling [...]

I’ve been having way too much fun with our new Blossoms Template Mini-Pack which adds fifteen new shapes to transform your photos into fun flower designs. So I put together a project to inspire you to give them a try! The table runner started with the following photo. If you click on the photo below, it will [...]

After my last blog post, someone asked if it would be possible to use fabric rather than photo paper to make the resin pendants.  I knew it was possible to embed fabric in the cast pieces, but I wanted to embellish the fabric with stitching and make domed pieces rather than cast.  After a few [...]

I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve been having the past few days making [...]

We’ve just returned from International Quilt Market/Festival in Houston and are finalizing everything needed to make our new Template Mini-Packs available by the end of the week via our online store. To whet your appetite for just a couple more days, I thought I’d post a project made with the Snowflakes Mini-Pack. These cards are [...]

We’ve hung these star lanterns in our booth at shows for a couple of years now and I’m always asked how I made them. After the AQS Quilt Show in Lancaster, PA last week, I decided it was time that I sit down and write up the instructions. Of course, you will need Kaleidoscope Kreator [...]

Kaleidoscope Kreator has been mentioned a couple of times on other blogs in the past few days.  I thought you might like to see how other people are using KK. SewCalGal wrote an article on how to use kaleidoscope images from Kaleidoscope Kreator in Electric Quilt (quilt design software).  This is something that I’ve been [...]

The Dilemma When we decided to participate in the CHA Craft Super Show (in Anaheim a couple of weeks ago), we were encouraged to offer a Make & Take project for attendees. (A “Make & Take” project means that attendees make a project in our booth and then take it with them.) The trick was [...]
