17 an exciting announcement!

11.20.2012

Have you all heard of Threadbias?  I'm sure most of you have, it's a great community-based website where you can share all of your sewing projects!  You can also buy and sell sewing and quilt patterns, join groups, and follow other members to see what they've been making.  It's pretty awesome!



The Threadbias team has also been working on a new Quilt Design Tool, a program where you can draw up quilt designs and color in the pieces with fabrics from your stash!  There are going to be some cool features in this tool that are really useful to quilters!  If you're curious, there are a couple videos of the tool in use here.
I am thrilled to announce that I am going to be working with the Threadbias team to design the user interface for the Quilt Design Tool!  It's like a melding of crafty and professional worlds for me, and I am extremely excited to have a part in designing a tool that is meant to be used by quilters like myself.  The tool will be launching at QuiltCon in February (in Booths 102 & 103), and I am so happy that I'll be there to see it unveiled!

If you are as excited as I am about this new Quilt Design Tool, I encourage you to purchase an advance subscription of the tool here.  All packages include early access to the beta version, which will be released as soon as we can get enough of the design work completed and incorporated into the tool!
