“Dove c’è EQ c’è una quilter felice” or translated from Italian, “Where there’s EQ there’s a happy quilter” – So says the title of a Magic Patch article! Magic Patch is an Italian quilting and patchwork magazine and when our friend and fellow EQ teacher, Simonetta Marini, was invited to write an article for them she thought of EQ. We were honored! Simonetta wanted to show people how EQ can make the design and creation process so much simpler so she turned to our EQ Quilt Gallery. After browsing the Quilt Galleryshe chose a few quilt to use in the article, contacted the designers, and then featured them in her article. What a nice compliment! The Quilt Gallery features EQ designed quilts in virtual form and then in completed fabric. It’s really fun to see. Visit our Quilt Gallery to see these quilts and more! Show us your quilts!
