Janet Quam did a really fun EQ quilt design series on “what’s in my purse”. The designs were based off of things she carried or found in her purse. Wow, couldn’t all women have some interesting quilt designs with this strategy!? Below are two of Janet’s quilts; “Sunflower Seeds” and “Skiver”. She tells us a little bit about them: Skiver: On the EQ7 image workspace, I traced a motif of Skiver’s picture which I had in my purse. Then I drew motifs for the flowers. Skiver, born June 3, 2010, is our new purebred Freisian colt. He loves to attack tall weeds – kicking, stomping, chewing, hitting with his head – until all is conquered. He grew 7 inches taller in one month. Sunflower Seeds: I had a packet of sunflower seeds in my purse that I bought at the co-op. Can you believe that I didn’t even get them

I can’t tell you how much I love this quilt! Designed in EQ by Dodi Poulsen, this Sweet Cherry Pie quilt looks good enough to eat. It was featured in The Quilter magazine, September issue where you can also find all the instructions on how to make this beautiful quilt. Dodi and her business partner and sister Heidi are quilters, designers, and authors! They design using EQ and everything they create it divine. Check out their website, Two Sister’s At Quilt Hollow, where you can view and purchase her patterns. They are all so adorable and they seem to all be named after food – which is really making me hungry. Appropriately, Dodi and Heidi recently released a new book called Have your Cake and Eat it Too! It’s a book of patterns with recipes. Now what could be better than that!?
