Sandi Blackwell proudly announces the release of her new book Square-gonals – A new angle on quilting. The book was released at Spring Market just a few weeks ago and we are so excited for her! So what is Square-agonals? It is a new method of creating diagonal set quilts without the complications of sewing setting corners and triangles. The method is based on a well-known branch of mathematics, called dissections, which Sandi utilized for her new technique. Find out more about her book on her website now!

When you get your EQ7 or EQ7 Upgrade you’ll find that it comes with a user manual. But what you may not know is that the EQ6 Companion books are still great resources for your EQ7. EQ6 Simplfied is a great book for those just getting started with EQ7. And the EQ6 Pieced Drawing and EQ6 Appliqué Drawing books are great for learning the basics of the EQ7 drawing features. See a review of the EQ6 Appliqué Drawing book in the latest digital edition of Down Under Quilts magazine!
