Feather Zone wins a blue ribbon at MQX!
You might remember my post a few months ago about the quilt that Teri Lucas and I collaborated on: Feather Zone. Well guess what? We won a first place in the Small Wallhanging category at the MQX East show! I learned of our blue ribbon yesterday, but I’ve been so busy it hasn’t sunk in yet. [...]
Read morePrinting kaleidoscopes for standard photo sizes
We’ve had a cluster of questions lately about printing kaleidoscopes for standard sizes of photo paper and/or frames, e.g. 4″ x 6″, 5″ x 7″, etc. So I thought I would do a blog post explaining the issue and how to address it. As you’ve probably noticed, all of the kaleidoscopes that are made in [...]
Read moreIncorporating kaleidoscopes into a slice quilt
This past summer I was invited to join four other women in a “slice quilt” challenge. For those of you unfamiliar with it, a slice quilt is where a photo is “sliced” into a number of pieces (based on how many people are participating) and each person takes a slice to turn into a quilt. [...]

One of our customers, Claudette Pomroy, sent us photos of some ornaments that she’s made with Kaleidoscope Kreator and I just had to share them with you!

Read moreQuilting Arts TV taping with Sarah Vedeler
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 [...]
Read moreMore Kaleidoscope Pendants
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 [...]
Read moreFiligree Pillow: A sample project for our new Filigrees Template Mini-Pack
Since we will be introducing our new template mini-packs at International Quilt Festival in Houston this week, I thought I would post a project (with instructions) that I made using the new Filigrees Mini-Pack to whet your appetite.
