This quilt is a collaboration between me (Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero) and Teri Lucas.  I designed the quilt at the same time I was designing the template shapes for our Feathers Template Mini-Pack.  It was a bit of a challenge to put together the first time around – so much so that I scrapped that attempt and [...]

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!

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 [...]

As a reminder, the Filigrees Mini-Pack will be available for purchase via our website on November 12, [...]

I recently returned from Minneapolis where Spring International Quilt Market was held this year and have returned inspired and ready to create! Quilt Market is a trade show (not open to the public) where everyone who’s anyone involved with quilting as a business attends to sell, buy, promote, network, etc. We were not exhibiting at [...]

I had a great trip out to Cleveland for my taping for Quilting Arts TV (QATV) Series 600. I had an uneventful flight on Wednesday and got a brand new (1.5 miles on the odometer) rental car. I’m sure some of you might think this is very cool.  I, on the other hand, was afraid [...]

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 [...]
