Have you been longing to design your own patterns? Or would you like to create a plan for how you will quilt your newest project? There are many programs to help you design patchwork, but programs to help you create your own appliqué, or anything with curvy lines for that matter, are almost non-existent. Explore the beauty, ease, and flexibility of digital drawing using Inkscape, a free design program for both Windows and MacOS X. Learn how to create a drawing that you can take in any direction, from a simple block to a professional-quality quilt pattern. Work alongside Jaimie as she teaches how to use Inkscape's many tools to reproduce a pattern from start to finish, design a quilt and then tweak that design to make it your own. No drawing experience is necessary. Bring your basic computer skills and your imagination, and watch your design come to life! www.loopytulips.com
