Flags for Lac Megantic

Posted 08-08-2013 by | Posted in: Downloads

One of our users, Claire Haillot, recently emailed us about a project she started. Claire says, “On July 6, the small town of Lac Mégantic, Québec had a major train derailment of oil. The tankers blew up and basically decimated the center of town, as well as killing 47 innocent people. It is a tragedy. The town has rallied and has had a lot of support from across the world, but it will takes years to rebuild and for the people effected, some will never get over this.  A friend and I are organizing the collection of flags ( like the ones made for Boston after the marathon bombings) which will be displayed at Lac Mégantic in the fall to let the community know that they have the support of people around the world. There is a link with all the details, which has directions on how to make the flags and

USA quilt

Summer is the time to travel, right? Here is a fun project using the United States of America as inspiration. You can download the project here. (Alaska and Hawaii are also included.) But, to make it more personal, you could print photos on EQ Printable Fabric and integrate them into the quilt. It’s easy with EQ7. Of course, you can make the quilt any size you’d like, but mine is set to (without borders) 20 x 12.5. I started with Texas. I used the Tape Measurer  to measure Texas. It’s about 5.3 inches wide. So, I re-sized my photo to be 5.3 inches wide as well. Then, I clicked  Libraries > Fabric Library > Import > from image file >  locate your Texas photo > Open > Add to Sketchbook. Your Texas photo can now be used like any other fabric. Since some of the states are oddly shaped it
