I was gone most of last week at a workshop in the Catskills with Heather Ross and Denyse Schmidt. Gorgeous location and super fun workshop! I’ll probably do a post about it next week after I’ve had time to process through everything I learned.
I was stuck on the plane for a lot of hours getting there and back, and for whatever reason I ended up being incredibly productive. I ended up taking care of a few programming projects I’ve been wanting to deal with.
So first up, Palette Builder now works on touch devices! It’s still not super pretty, but you can now move the little circle cursors around on your iPad and cell phones! That’s been a long time coming, for sure.
Secondly, I wrote up the first draft of a Kona/Aurifil converter. Choose your Kona or Aurifil and see what the corresponding match is! I’m planning to sort the two lists so it’s easier to find things as well as add color swatches for reference. I’m not sure when that will actually happen, but I’m sure I’ll be on a plane at some point again in the future… In the meantime, you can use the current version here.
Not programming, but I also got some writing time to work on my book. I apparently have a LOT of things to say. I know that will come as a surprise to many of you! 😉
And to finish off this random post and put in a pretty picture, my quilt “We Are” was accepted for the Amish: The Modern Muse show at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles!!! I am super thrilled. I couldn’t stop grinning all day when I found out.

You need to travel more often 🙂 And congratulations on your quilt’s being accepted for the Amish! I am in love with this quilt!
I’m not usually quite so productive on the plane, but maybe I DO need to travel more often! 🙂 Thanks so much for the congrats, I am silly excited about it being in the show!!
I cannot WAIT to try out Palette Builder on my tablet! I rarely use my pc anymore, so this is wonderful news!
If I’d known so many people were mainly on their tablets, I would have looked into this sooner! I feel badly that I made you all wait so long. Please let me know if you run into any issues!
OH MY GOSH YES!!!! I’ve been waiting for this miracle!!!!
I’m so glad I could provide! Sorry for making you wait so long. 🙂
I didn’t know I could use this on my iPad! Guess what I’m doing tonight…thank you!
Please let me know if you run into any issues! 🙂 It could use a bit more tweaking, and hopefully I’ll have time to get to that sooner rather than later. 🙂
Congrats on being accepted!
Thank you!! My mom is coming to visit during the show so we’re going to go see it together. How fun is that going to be?!
How awesome that you’ve developed the converter. I do have a picky request, could the lists be alphabetized? Congrats on getting into the show. Let us know how it goes.
That’s not a picky request at all! It’s the highest priority thing on the list of things I want to fix about it. The other high priority thing is to add images so there’s something visual there as well. That part is harder than alphabetizing though. 🙂
congratulations!
Thank you! 😀 It’s my first time in a juried show, and I’m pretty thrilled about it. 🙂
I am so excited about your Amish quilt!!! I love that the rest of the world recognizes that you are awesome too 🙂
EEEee thank you Katy!! Seriously I was grinning like mad when I got the news. 🙂 Now on to the QuiltCon entries. *gulp*
Yay for having fun *and* being productive! Can’t wait to hear about your weekend!
The Kona/Aurifil converter is genius. Thank you!
Congratulations on the Amish quilt!
I will babble about the workshop endlessly by request. 😉 I don’t have a whole lot to show for the weekend, but sometimes learning doesn’t show much on the outside. 🙂
Glad you like the converter and thank you for the congrats! I’m still grumpy on your behalf but am hoping I’ll get to see it in person now that it’s finished.
That’s awesome that your quilt was accepted. Yay for you!
Thank you so much! 😀 I am super excited about it and can’t wait to see it hanging!!
I am looking forward to using the Aurifil/Kona comparison, thank you so much! (In other news, i have started a quilt using the AMH bundle i won from you last year, I’ll send some pics in a few weeks).
Ooooh, I’d love to see what you end up making with the bundle! 😀 Please do share the pics!
I look forward to seeing your quilt in person at the Museum. The palette builder has been fun to play with. I have moved the circle icons frequently on my laptop. Guess I haven’t used it on my phone so I didn’t know that wasn’t available. How satisfying to cross items off the to-do list. Thanks.
Thank you so much! Did you enter a quilt into the show? Judging by the quilts I’ve seen, it’s going to be a stunner of a show!
Congratulations! And thanks for the converter….
Thanks Lynne! Let me know if you have any issues with the converter. 🙂
