Club EQ is a free club any EQ user can join, simply by using EQ to design a quilt. Club leader, Barb Vlack, presents monthly challenges. Those EQ users who join the challenge (and the fun) send in a project file. These projects are displayed together on our website. Participants receive projects from all the other challenge participants that month. So send in one project file, and receive many more in return! No sewing necessary! This month’s challenge is: Red & White Nine Patches! Here is what users have sent in so far… Before you send in your project please check out the rules. And as always, feel free to contact us with any questions at techsupport@electricquilt.com or 419-352-1134. Have fun!
