One of users, Marie Trimmer is a long time EQ fan. Marie says, “I have been a user of your software since it was an old DOS program and I wanted to say that I love your design programs.
I don’t claim to be a computer wiz but even I can use it.
When the quilt was finished I took it to the guild and the response was amazing. All of a sudden the people who didn’t want to attempt applique were asking if I still had the printouts!
I had called your office to ask about copyright and the lady I spoke with asked me to send a photo of the quilt when it was finished.
I am so happy to report I have won many first places, an excellence in applique award, two viewers choice awards, best in show and was invited to enter the quilt in the world quilt competition, which I was thrilled to do.
I called the quilt “Christmas on the Farm”, and in the background I quilted “stories” about my life growing up and some things I remember, including my grand fathers favorite Christmas song. I’ve attached a close up of your chicken block with the hen house under a shady tree in the background.
I am keeping my promise to send you this picture and to say thank-you for the great program!”
Thanks, Marie! Congratulations on all your awards! Your quilt is beautiful. We are glad you enjoy EQ!

Thank you for your comments everyone. I love this quilt also. It has become very special to me and I have decided to pass it along to my grand-daughter so the little stories quilted in each of the blocks can be told to the next generation. Hopefully some of them will be quilters! Marie
