In the August/September issue of Quilters Newsletter you’ll find a quilt designed by Colleen Francis called “Flowers for My Mother”on page 84. Not only is it a beautiful quilt, but she designed it in Quilt Design Wizard using the log cabin and courthouse step blocks! What a great example of what QDW can do. Thanks so much for sharing with Quilter’s Newsletter, Colleen!

Barbara talks about how the program came to be: “My pattern software program BlockBase is back in print. It’s a digital version of my old Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns, which was a print version of a big box of index cards I kept in the 1970s and ’80s.” Read more on her blog. *Free Shipping Details Free standard shipping to US and Canada when you order BlockBase by Monday, August 20th 9am, EST. If you’ve already pre-ordered BlockBase and are awaiting your shipment, shipping will not be charged on your order.

When I arrived to work today, Quiltmaker Sept/Oct issue was waiting for me at my desk. So on this Monday morning I sipped on my coffee and flipped through the mag (tough job, right?). Even more fun, seeing l kinds of EQ users throughout the magazine! Seems everyone is using EQ for their quilt design and we couldn’t feel more honored. We are truly impressed with the designs our users come up with. So what EQ goodies will you find in the Sept/Oct issue of Quiltmaker? Page 4 – Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Volume 2 is now available! YES!

Another amazing EQ designer has been spotted in a magazine. Congratulations to Bea Lee of BeaQuilter.com! Her EQ designed quilt “It’s a Hootie” can be seen in the Sept/Oct Issue of McCall’s Quilting. Read more about her quilt on her blog. You’ll also be seeing this quilt in the NEW EQ Gallery coming soon!

We love hearing about and seeing the quilts you are making with EQ. Here’s note from  Lucy Maust of Accident, MD about her Civil War quilt. “I would never have attempted to design and piece it without the help of my EQ6! I learned about Rosemary Young’s CDs of her Civil War books and I felt as though I had found a gold mine! This quilt will be auctioned on August 25, 2012 at our church’s annual Country Fest and Auction. The proceeds are used for our church schools. If you are interested in learning more about this and seeing other quilts that will be auctioned this year, you can go to www.countryfest.org. This is my way of saying THANK YOU for the wonderful quilt programs you provide. Keep up the good work!” Lucy Maust of Accident, MD Check out these other quilts Lucy designed in EQ!
