Both
successful businesswomen in our own right, sisters Tracey Browning of Constantine Quilts and Helen Stubbings
of Hugs ‘n Kisses
have joined forces to take your quilting and the world of quilt patterns
into the next phase of the craft as we know it. With many years experience
writing patchwork, quilting, embroidery, stitchery, redwork and doll
patterns for individual sale and as commissions for major international
magazines we come with all the desired qualifications to bring you a
quality, professional, sometimes challenging but always enjoyable product to
enthuse, entice and satisfy your creative urges and skills. Our aim is to
empower you with the confidence to use your own talents, skills and tastes
to create your masterpieces with as much help as you need from your
computer, your local quilt shop, your peers, friends and us.
- www.quizzles.com.au -
Quizzles™
are quilt patterns on CDRom. Each Quizzle has full instructions for three
different quilts. The quilts are all based on the same block used in
different settings, sizes and layouts. By viewing your quizzle on your
computer you can see full colour pictures, photographs and diagrams all the
way through the programme, (not just a colour picture on the cover of a
black and white pattern). You can choose to read and stitch from your
computer, print out in full colour or print in black and white any or all
parts of the instructions.
Quizzles™
have a unique interactive feature allowing you to customize your own version
of our quilts. Use a colour palette to choose your preferred colour scheme
and colour style. You have a choice of clear colours, country colours,
pretties, brights and muted colours. Have a play and come up with as many
versions as you like. If you need some assistance visit the gallery
to see some of our other variations which may get you inspired. Once you
have chosen your colours for a particular quilt and saved them, all the
instructions, diagrams and requirements will reflect the changes. Print out
your new requirements page to take shopping, then begin your quilt. Return
to our original version anytime or make further changes as many times as you
like. It couldn’t be easier to create your own unique masterpiece.
As
an added bonus we have included a quilt crossword puzzle to do in your
‘spare time’. A sample of the puzzle is on the puzzle
page.
