Ok I have been trying to figure out how to design my own pattern for chapels I have been finding. Then I remembered this site at Marth Stewart (ugh).com and the conversion software that is there. http://www.marthastewart.com/glitter-painting

I want to show you what happens to a picture before and after and suddenly the design logistics are not nearly as overwhelming. I will post my pieces when I finish them. What it does is blurr out the details and leave the fine lines. Try it with a picture and see how much easier it is. I use this for watercolor painting which tends (at least for me) to be less fine detail and more color placement.

you have to click the second download (wont show the pic for some reason just by opening this thread) to see how it changes the picture.

grr here is the red door church of Sonora, CA before and after the after pic is a PDF file. They print out very nicely. I cheat I cut the pic up and draw a pattern off the little paper cut outs.

That is an awesome program!!! :D:D:D
Thank you for sharing it with us :D:D:D

thank you. it works great.

i did the view by my house.

here's the pic and the file from martha stewards

Wow! That is a real find. Thanks for sharing the site with us. Landscape/picture quilts are on my list, and this will really help.

Oh my goodness this is awesome. My husband & I took a trip from LA back to PA and I bought fabric all along the way (13 LOS's in 9 states in 16 days). My goal is to make a road trip quilt and include some landscape applique "snapshots". This program will help tremendously! Thank you and I can't wait to see your finished project!

That's really neat.

Wow. That is great a great tool.
