I've used Microsoft Access to catalog my embroidery designs, quilt patterns, sewing patterns, etc. My iPad has a visual 'scrapbook' of my completed projects. My iPad has a library of RUclips vids (hello, Man Sewing!) so they are portable. I've got an external Tb drive with my crafty stuff. I LOVE technology! The pen to draw FM quilting idea makes me want to get a pen. Would LOVE to see more ideas!
I would LOVE more videos on how to use technology with crafting. That would be amazing. I am a multi crafter. I use my cross stitch design software for making quilt designs, as well as graphs for my crocheting. I also use a quilting program for making paper piecing patterns for image quilts. I love the idea of how you doodled and turned it into your applique patterns. And the idea of doodling your free motion has me inspired. I really hope the back of that quilt is black. Would love to see the stitching pop on the solid color.
What a creative idea! Love this quilt. The bright colors are very appealing, and using them against the newsprint background is fabulous. If I haven’t seen this tutorial, I would have used a clear white or black background. But the newsprint does make it look like spilt paint. Genius! Thanks !
Hay Rob, this is really cool. I had 3 people pop into mind as soon as I seen this was a quilt and not someone messed up your wall. LOL.. And this will be sew EZ and quick to do, I can zip one done between taking a brake from a quilt that makes me want to pull my hair out over. LOVE this idea.. and for sure am going to be making a few. THANKS.
I love this! The pieced newsprint background is genius! I use my DSLR camera to take pictures of my projects as well. Sometimes I use blank pieced patterns and colour them in to audition layouts. I've made applique patterns and printed them, too. When I have a lot of blocks or pieces on the design wall and I'm rearranging them, I take pictures so I can see better where things are too close or what needs to be moved, if there is too much dark or light in one place, and when I take the final picture, I can tell that's exactly what I want before joining the blocks/pieces. I'd love to see more of what you do with technology, however, I only have a regular printer and I'm not sure how I'd print big pieces to size. Maybe you can teach us how to put a bit design into PDF so we can print it on a regular 8.5 by 11 sheet and then tape it together or something? A lot of pattern companies do that, but I've never seen anywhere how to arrange a PDF like that. Thanks, Rob! Oops, forgot to mention, I do have a "Ruby beholder" that I use to tell what fabrics are light, medium and dark before I even cut them, which helps with making the blocks and combining fabrics, too. Same thing as taking a picture after the fact, but I like to check before I start :D
I have been using the concepts app, it was a game changer when I first started machine quilting! I took a picture of the block and then practiced my design right on each block! Thanks for sharing all that you do!
Just recently learned to use photo filters to examine the values of my fabric. Super useful and would love more tips like the one you've shown here. Love this imaginative design.
I love technology! So, all the techno tutorials you can make will be awesome!! My husband just had a state-of-the-art garage built so am going to make him a paint drip wall hanging.
I just got an iPad with pencil and am doing the same type of activities that you are doing, Rob. I have even been attempting some graffiti quilting designs too.
Dude! Using the tablet to audition FMQ designs is GENIUS! I always struggle with coming up with FMQ ideas beyond an all over pattern. I know this is going to help me tremendously in upping my skills and creativity!!
I love using technology for my quilting. I especially enjoy using a design program (EQ8) to design and color my quilts. It allows me to play with the colors before I ever commit to fabric. Even if I'm using a purchased pattern, I will usually copy it into the program so I can play the colors.
Such a GREAT idea. A really cute quilt. I am trying to learn to make one. I think it’s extremely interesting how u said u draw your designs using your table. Would like to learn more about that!! Thanks so much for your videos. 🤩
Love the idea of using the tablet to audition quilting designs. Thanks a lot, Rob! Now, I going to be yearning for a tablet I can draw on! Keep up the good work. Love your videos
This is a fun project, I want to make one too! Only change is I would trim the 5x10 pieces down to 5x9.5 so they line up better with the two 5" squares unit. I can see the extra 1/2" hanging off the block at 3:16. Rob can probably handle the excess no problem but knowing me I would find a way to add unnecessary fullness to my quilt with that extra 1/2".
Recently I used a program for making cross stitching patterns in order to make a quilt design. I also take photos of my fabrics and use a drawing program that allows me to work in layers to do a layout. This has been especially helpful for planning out bargello designs so I can play around with different looks before making any commitments.
Rob! I'm super inspired! I just bought a light tablet for even more ideas. It's great for overlay tracings so I can change one layer of design at a time. It's so nice to be able to move images around while the under layers stay in place.
Yes, please, show more of how to mix technology into our projects.I has been a while since my last computer class. I would love recommendations on computer classes to refresh my memory if you have any also.
Fabulous! I am going to use the smaller size for an artists bag tomorrow, to make as a present for Christmas. Thank you for the marvellous inspirational video. Look forward to the next one!
I definitely have to make this quilt!!! But I will do it as a wall hanging. I recently redid my quilt room and haven't hung anything up on the walls. This would make a great splash of color on white walls. Perfect!!! No, I don't use tech in quilting -- never thought about it actually. But I would love to hear what tablet you are using and how you go about getting ideas (especially for this quilt!). Great tutorial as always, but can you please do a 'part 2' of this one with more detail on the quilting aspects and more up close shots too. It would be really neat to see more of the thread paint dribbles.
GENIUS!!! Luuuove this quilt and your aMAZing design insights!!! 👏😍👏 Re: technology applications - I would be grateful to learn from you how to use tech more creatively, especially in appliqué, but also other quilting applications.
Love it! It reminds me of one of the first projects I saw you do, which was the tiger and the tree frog appliqué quilt. I love mine. Thanks. I look forward to seeing more of your projects and how you use technology in quilting.
ROB, I have this idea for making this quilt even more amazing. Could you make a chameleon at the bottom of the dripping colors using a hand painted fabric with the colors dripping on him ? I think it would be a great picture. If not a chameleon then a puddle of the dripping colors. I’m considering experimenting with this.
I use Electric Quilt software. I can go to the fabric manufacturer website and download the exact fabric so i know what the quilt will look like before i even cut the fabric. I can also use it to audition quilting designs
Would really like to see how you use the pen on the ipad and how you go about printing it out, sizing, etc., You explain things really well!!!! Thank you.
I use my ipad to take photos of my layout, then change the photo to mono or noir to see where the dark/light/mediums might distract .. just an fyi thing .. and gday from Australia 🇦🇺
Lovely quilt! I use Adobe Illustrator for my quilt design since that's what I use for work (graphics design). Btw, theoretically the color order in a rainbow is purple-blue-green-yellow-orange-red.
Love the quilt. Bit of a tech geek here, so would love to know what programs you use. Also, part 2 to show more of the quilting you did. I am just getting started with machine quilting.
I LOVE this quilt and seriously considering to sew it. I do have a question that would be VERY helpful... How wide are the stripls for the different paints? Thanks in advance!
Yes, I would love to hear about how you use your technology. I use android in my phone and tablet. Can you tell me what program and if it was an android app that you used to create this beautiful quilt. Plus can you yell me where you got the newspaper print material please. Any links you can share? Thank you :)
I just watched this video with the sound completely turned down (hubby is watching The Santa Claus and he has “clicker” priority :-) and it was even informative without hearing your energy Rob. I would love to see a video on how to do the same quilt only using reverse appliqué.
I just love your work! What program did you use on your tablet? I have been looking at many apps but not sure which is the best one. I have the iPad 12 pro with the pen. You are an amazing inspiration to me and I have been learning through you!
I have been trying to find the tutorial from an episode. It was some time ago. It was a spaceship that looked like a sewing machine. Does anyone remember what it was called?

The newsprint under color splashes is genius
Very nice video. My son is getting one of these for Christmas. He has a wood heater and this is perfect for him. Thank you very much for this.
I'm glad you talked more about the shark... some quilters have never heard of it! I want one SO BAD!
Oooh, using the tablet to audition applique and quilting is BRILLIANT!! Why didn't I think of that??? You rock!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing your time & talents w/us😀! You are smart & fun! Mary🍀 (Senior Citizen)
I love your show you are so easy to follow and understand.
Yes, please share more technology in future. This was a fantastic quilt, feels like i can do anything and everything.

I love the small rotary cutter!

I'm not using technology except to get patterns. I love seeing different ideas for it. thanks for your videos

Hi Rob, I do love the tablet idea. Not a huge free motion quilter yet, however, I always get inspiration from everyone's different methods.
Thank-you!
Love the tablet idea for auditioning quilting motifs, would love to hear more about how tech can be incorporated into our process 😀
My daughter is a painter. I would love to create something like bccv this for her. Thanks for sharing. Brilliant idea.
Yes please technology share!! lol. Love this tutorial. SUPER cute.
What a great idea. I love mixed media with technology. Thanks again.
Firstly, that’s a beautiful quilt. Secondly, I would love to see the different ways you use your technology in your quilting

LOVE the newsprint fabric!!
Wow! I lovethisquilt. Thank you so much Rob.
My husband has a 3D printer and I have had him print shapes for me to use in quilting designs.
That's awesome! I'm thinking of doing a quilt. I've been binge watching your videos and am getting really excited to finally try it! Thanks!😃
Rob, your brilliant!!!!
Another great video, Rob! I'm always excited to see what you have in store for us!

What a cool quilt. Love it.
I've thought about doing something similar but on a much smaller scale. I LOVE your videos, keep them coming!!!!!
Awesomely creative tutorial, thank you Rob! I would love to learn more about how you used tech to create the quilt behind you!!
Loved it. Thank you
Very ingenious! Cool looking quilt.
GENIUS!!! Luuuove this quilt and your aMAZing design insights!!! 👏😍👏
Re: technology applications - I would be grateful to learn from you how to use tech more creatively, especially in appliqué, but also other quilting applications.
I'm definitely doing this quilt!
Awesome! We can't wait to see it
Love the quilt. I do not use technology but would love to learn. Would be great to audition quilting ideas.
Love this!!
I love your ideas! I love to see the processes you use to create. So I would really like to see more!
Love it! It reminds me of one of the first projects I saw you do, which was the tiger and the tree frog appliqué quilt. I love mine. Thanks. I look forward to seeing more of your projects and how you use technology in quilting.
Yes please would like to know more about your idea of using technology with free motion quilting thank you
Great ideas Thanks so much
ROB,
I have this idea for making this quilt even more amazing.
Could you make a chameleon at the bottom of the dripping colors using a hand painted fabric with the colors dripping on him ? I think it would be a great picture. If not a chameleon then a puddle of the dripping colors. I’m considering experimenting with this.
I use Electric Quilt software. I can go to the fabric manufacturer website and download the exact fabric so i know what the quilt will look like before i even cut the fabric. I can also use it to audition quilting designs
Would really like to see how you use the pen on the ipad and how you go about printing it out, sizing, etc., You explain things really well!!!! Thank you.
Would love to see more technology uses in quilting.
I love Sarah at LMA!!
I use my ipad to take photos of my layout, then change the photo to mono or noir to see where the dark/light/mediums might distract .. just an fyi thing .. and gday from Australia 🇦🇺
What a wonderful idea....thank you. So no I haven't yet
Nice and creative quilt!! Love it
Love the videos and would enjoy more technology in the process.
I use my camera, my computer, to design applique for my quilting
love this so clever
I love using the app called procreate on my iPad Pro. It’s great for pattern design, color choices, adding photos etc
Love it!!!!!! Wow😁
I am a huge fan! I watch all of your vids. I love your energy & amazing ideas! And yes please to more tech ideas! Happy Holidays
Love this! AND YES I would like to learn more about how you use tech in your quilting - these were some great ideas.
I would love to see more videos on using tech. with quilting. I'd love to know what kind of tablet you were working on. Loved the quilt!!
Great tutorial again. I would like to use the available technology in my quilting
Looks like real paint.
Great idea on how to use technology to audition machine quilting.
Lovely quilt! I use Adobe Illustrator for my quilt design since that's what I use for work (graphics design). Btw, theoretically the color order in a rainbow is purple-blue-green-yellow-orange-red.
Would love to see technology classes on how you use the ipad, software, etc on designing quilts and creating patterns. Thanks
love it
I'd love to know more about using technology in my quitling
Amei a criatividade, ficou muito lindo! Amazing❣️😍
so very cool as usual. no i don't use much tech. don't know much. if you can explain would like to know more.
Love the quilt. Bit of a tech geek here, so would love to know what programs you use. Also, part 2 to show more of the quilting you did. I am just getting started with machine quilting.
Yes! Please share more of how you use technology. Is that just a regular iPad and pencil you are using? Or a pro model?
Please share what you learn. No technology in this quilt room yet!
I LOVE this quilt and seriously considering to sew it. I do have a question that would be VERY helpful... How wide are the stripls for the different paints? Thanks in advance!
Yes, I would love to hear about how you use your technology. I use android in my phone and tablet. Can you tell me what program and if it was an android app that you used to create this beautiful quilt. Plus can you yell me where you got the newspaper print material please. Any links you can share? Thank you :)
I just watched this video with the sound completely turned down (hubby is watching The Santa Claus and he has “clicker” priority :-) and it was even informative without hearing your energy Rob. I would love to see a video on how to do the same quilt only using reverse appliqué.
Yes to technology. 😁
I just love your work!
What program did you use on your tablet?
I have been looking at many apps but not sure which is the best one. I have the iPad 12 pro with the pen.
You are an amazing inspiration to me and I have been learning through you!
Rob's favorite apps to draw with his iPad are Adobe Draw and Vectanator!
Love Love your graphic tee shirts, are they for sale somewhere?
Yes more tech please
I have been trying to find the tutorial from an episode. It was some time ago. It was a spaceship that looked like a sewing machine. Does anyone remember what it was called?
What size is the quilt on wall? Since don't free motion, I would have my long armer do the quilting.
Do you have any drunkard path shows and also where can I get instructions and fabric for your other projects?
I have no idea how to use technology for drawing the quilting and would really like to. I have an Android based tablet, not iOS.
Can you do something with a Cricut?
