Electric Quilt Software Demo
Wondering how a computer can help your quilting? Tired of
making templates with pencil and paper? Or maybe you’d like to design
your own quilts or blocks with ease. Come to this demonstration of
Electric Quilt Software (EQ6) and discover the possibilities. EQ6,
quilting design software, enables you to design your own blocks and
quilts, and print templates and fabric yardage. Maybe you want to
explore the interaction of two blocks that come in one of the block
libraries; colour the blocks with one of the many fabric palettes in EQ6
or scan in your own fabric. Either way, you’ll see hundreds of
possibilities of quilts in any size, or layout that you pick or design
yourself. Decided that 10” blocks should be 12”? No problem! Change the
size in one place and you have a new quilt size, templates and yardage
instantly.
This is a powerful quilt tool that can be used by the
novice or advanced quilter. You choose the level and the software will
grow with you as you learn more about quilting. Join us for a couple of
hours and see for yourself just what this software can do for you. Come
enjoy the camaraderie and awaken your creativity. The demonstration will
be followed by a discussion period. (Note that this software was
written for Windows operating systems.)

Quilter's Angel - the Protector of All Things Unfinished
Learn
to recreate this adorable little quilt designed by Canadian Terry
Morberg of
pattern (plus my own suggestions). I have
used scraps mostly from Kansas troubles and Thimbleberries to get
the folky feel, but it would look great in pastels or country
colours. A great project to use nickel squares. I am experimenting
with several looks. The first class will cover the piecing parts –
background, wings, little quilt. The second will cover the applique
and finishing. This project is so much fun. It won’t remain
unfinished! An embellishment kit is included in the cost.
