What a fun weekend! A huge thank you to all the students who joined us at EQ Academy last weekend—what a great time we had! A special thanks to our awesome teachers: Lori Miller, Nancy Roelfsema, Jenny Novinsky, Sara Seuberling, and Janice E. Frisch! Classes were wonderful as always and students learned so much. Scroll down for photos and info about our next EQ Academy.
Here are some of the quilts the beginners learned to design! How cool are these?!
STUDENT REVIEWS:
“For a year, I played with EQ8 with minimal instruction/education. I had some success but more frustration than anything. All that changed this week at EQ Academy. I’m thrilled with how much I’ve learned and will definitely tell my friends about it!”
“EQ is a fantastic software program for ANY quilter! But, it’s more than that—it is the PEOPLE behind it—helpful, friendly, just a great group. Thank you EQ!”
“I learned so much in these classes. It was well worth my time and I can’t wait to use my new skills.”
“I learned more within the first hour in person than I had spending hours online trying to understand what I was looking at.”
“Easy as 1-2-3! Step 1; get EQ8! Step 2; take the class! Step 3; make awesome quilt patterns!“
“Because of the class, I feel confident to go home and be creative. I just knew enough to fumble around before.”
“These classes were absolutely worth it!“

It was a terrific experience. I have been using EQ8 for about 1 1/2 years and wondered if it would really be worth going that far for the classes…but after the frist few hours I could have gone home happy. I learned so much to enhance what I already knew how to do. Thanks for making it a great experience.

Not only did I learn a lot about the software, I had a lot of fun doing it. The teachers were knowledgeable and willing to take the time to help anyone with questions. All the EQ staff was friendly and made the Academy truly a great experience! Oh, yes, I must mention the lunches, which were wonderful and much better than the usual boxed lunch you might get some places.

This is my third time attending EQ Academy, and when I left this time I told them “See you next year!” Well worth coming, I always gain a wealth of knowledge. The beginning class gives you a firm grounding in the basics, and gave me the confidence to move forward with the specialty classes. The instructors and staff are extremely knowledgeable and make sure all your questions are answered (plus they provided lunch and a great gift bag!) I highly recommend taking at least the basics class if you’ve only played around with EQ. You’ll be amazed at what it can do!

I enjoyed the class and meeting the others that were there. It was worth my time and money to go to the in-person beginner class. Thank you Lori, for the great instruction. I plan to attend more.
