The LetterMpress project is really interesting... As different as they are, letterpress printing and iPad do have some key elements in common, especially the fundamentally tactile nature of both. Read more about it on Craft.

Good things come in threes... and sometimes more. Reading my RSS feed in last day or two, I've seen a ton of super cute desktop wallpapers or desktop calendars for March. So I thought I'd share a few of the best here. It's time to pretty up the screens in your life!

Here's a fun project from the fabulous Victoria & Albert Museum in London.... V&A's Patchwork Pattern Maker. Just upload a photo and the Patchwork Pattern Maker will create a custom quilt pattern for you! You can even use images from the V&A's collections , which is pretty awesome. The results can end up quite abstract or detailed, depending on the image you choose, plus how many squares and colours you want to use. Check out the gallery to see what patterns people have already created - at least virtually. It would be interesting to see some of the finished, fabric results! If you're looking for a comparable program to make knitting patterns from photos, have a look at  MicroRevolt's KnitPro application for creating custom intarsia patterns for knitting.
