Not really a quilting app - but why wouldn't you want a slew of Charley Harper images on your phone or ipad to amuse the toddlers and children in your life and provide you with instant inspiration. This fun, interactive, and educational game presents Charley Harper's distinctive drawing style and was inspired by his love of nature and symmetry. Touch the vividly illustrated forest scenes to see charming animations, learn the names of animals, and hear the real sounds these creatures make in the wild. Younger children will love playing peekaboo with animals, as they learn about cause and effect and familiarize themselves with the names and sounds of animals. Older children can try to guess the animals by clues, work on spelling, and can start to learn about the seasons and the interconnected web of life that is a living forest. Adults will love the graphic, mid-century-modern illustrations by Charley Harper.

Minimal realism - American Modernism - however you want to label the work of Charlie Harper (1922-2007) - it is hard not to fall in love with it all. This American artist and illustrator draftsman like illustrations focused on color and shape rather than detail, and the two-dimensional quality of his art makes it especially appealing to quilters as a source of inspiration.
JUST A REMINDER PLEASE - QUILTS INSPIRED BY CHARLEY HARPER'S ART ARE FOR PERSONAL USE AND THE QUILTS OR PATTERNS CANNOT BE SOLD OR PROFITED FROM IN ANY WAY WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE CHARLEY HARPER ESTATE.
