I am familiar with software that converts photos into cross-stitch designs and was wondering if there would be something like that for patchwork or quilting. The pictures I would like to convert are abstract/graphic works of art, which should not require as much editing as photographs, I think.



You can do this easily with a software called “Quilted Photo Xpress” You can find it at: http://www.MosaicQuilt.com
There are a couple of them that I know of, although I am sure there are more. 1-2-3 Quilt! has a free 30 day trial, their website is http://www.quiltpro.com/demos.shtml
The other one I know about is Electric Quilt and their website is http://www.electricquilt.com/ I haven’t used either but alot of the ladies and gentlemen in my quilting groups use them and it sounds like both are great.
