Welcome to The Virtual Quilt Project Group

"Art" includes such a wide range of mediums. Please open your mind and heart to the possible ways you can create a quilt block lens (even if you don't think you are an artist). Feel free to 'contact me' if you are not sure how your lens would fit into this group.


...even a photo of my sunset can translate into a quilt block.



GypsyOwl has taught online workshops using GIMP since early 2006. The techniques used in the workshops have been presented on Squidoo in a tutorial series. If you would like to join this group add a lens that you would like us to include in the virtual quilt block series. Remember that to make a virtual quilt block is as easy as browsing your images for something to frame on a module.

The GypsyOwl's Nurture Workshops center on nurturing creativity, spirituality and holistic wellness through artistic expression. The workshop series is a computer based art lesson (on GIMP) created with your developement of holistic skills in mind.

The next Nurture workshop will be published on Squidoo. Join this group now, to ensure that you receive the most up to date information before each new session is published.


...even a recipe card image (example: Recipe for Chicken Soup or Recipe for Nurturing, etc), can be a Virtual Quilt Block centerpiece.



Create a lens about your block and it can be submitted to the group.
