Quiltmaker and Electric Quilt sponsored a design contest in the fall of 2009. People were asked to submit an original quilt designed in EQ with a creative interpretation of quilting using any of the EQ/QM Quilting Design software series. Contestant identities were not revealed during judging. Grand Prize winners were announced a few weeks ago but now the Viewers Choice Winner has been chosen: Bear’s Paw in the Cabin by Susan Wood. Congratulations, Susan!

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!
