Thanks so much to sewcalgal and all the bloggers for sharing EQ7. I haven’t tried quilting software yet and keep going back to EQ7 (and drooling). I’ve commented on b-quilts…loved how she walked us thru using the software to create the (so cute) children’s books. I also commented on “I Quilt Scarlet”…noticed she commented she liked seeing the fabric swatches in the design…that’s a huge reason I want to try EQ7. I’m not experienced enough to gauge how the fabrics will look in the patterns and would really like to see a mockup first.
Thanks so much for the chance to win our own copy of EQ7..and thanks for all the great tips.

10-07-2012

I visit the blogs just this morning. I am so inspired by the amount of talent that I found! It’s amazing how each individual has her own “style”. I remember when quilting was block after block…now it is truly an artistic display of talent. I may be old but certainly not old enough to learn new tricks!
I commented on CuriousCat as the picture sample is a look alike to my own “Sam the Man!” What a wonderful way to preserve you loved pet forever. What a great idea!!!
Thanks for inspiring me to try new things…now to go through my fabric stash and see what I can come up with!

I am amazed at the versatility of this program and I’ve been wanting a copy for a couple of years now. Marjorie has a great tutorial on making a fabric book that could have so many uses.

Thank you for this blog hop. I really appreciate the help getting started using this amazing software. It is a little much to soak up at once so it is nice to be able to take it in little bites. You can do some pretty amazing stuff with it. I loved Kissed Quilts ornaments. I will have to try them as well as all the other inspiring projects.

Great blog hop, SewCal Gal and EQ. I got a few good hints from all the posts. Thanks. I read ALL the blogs, and commented on most. I am not sure if my comment was actally posted on Beaquilter’s blog, since those “prove I’m not a robot codes” just about did me in, lol. Thanks again.

What a great blog hop!!! Thanks so much for all the great tutorials. I commented on almost all the blog posts. I loved the different items created using EQ.

I loved all the quilt designs that Bea Quilter shared. Thanks for the great giveaway!! I would just love to win this software. It would really help me step up and improve my quilt designs!!!

I visited all the blogs and had the most wonderful, magical time both looking and learning. Quilting is such an adventure and I did not realise that there is such a large, friendly, and very welcoming community of quiliters in Bloggland (as I call it) I left comments on the following Blogs:
SewCalGal’s
Curious Orange Cat;s
Kissed Quilts
Bits and Pieces
I have to say, the more I’m reading the more excited I’m getting at haivng found you all! Makes my two wee blogs look very insignificant, but I enjoy writing them when I have time.
I would love to win this giveaway, I miss my ‘old’ EQ (an original on a floppy) and think it would be just the thing to kick start me again, but don’t worry, I will understand if I can’t be entered as I live in the UK. Will have to see if I can find EQ from a supplier here. Sorry, rambling on now! DeborahC♥

I am in awe at what you can do with this program. I do not have any of the EQ’s and really did not know much about them until I started checking your blogs out. Thanks so much for the info and I can now add something else to the list.
