Next Collectors Lesson is Ready

Posted 03-24-2009 by Electric Quilt | Posted in: Uncategorized

For those of you doing the online EQ5/EQ6 lessons for Kaleidoscope Collection, the next lesson is up and ready! This month we’re drawing alternate blocks. I hope you have fun! -Andrea p.s. I bought my border fabric and batting this weekend for the “mystery side sewing project.” I can’t wait to see/read your reactions once the mystery is revealed. I hope a lot of you have chosen to sew along.

EQ Fabric Necklace

Posted 03-23-2009 by Sarah | Posted in: Uncategorized

Carmi Cimicata emailed us her latest EQ Printable creation… how cool is this necklace!? “I have had the idea for this necklace rumbling about my head for weeks and decided it was time to just make one. Ever since I saw a fabric bracelet in Sherri Habb’s book I knew that sooner or later I would have something made from fibers too.” She printed photos on EQ Fabric and then she sewed them to a dozen tiny pockets stuffed with batting. The final product is so eclectic and cool. Visit her website to read about how she made this necklace in more detail. Thank you for sharing, Carmi!

We are so impressed. You did a beautiful job, Susan! Thank you for sharing. See more of Susan’s projects on her website.

Making the Cover Quilt

Posted 03-17-2009 by Sarah | Posted in: Uncategorized

Just last week I told you about the Congregation of Poppies Quilt that appeared in the April/May Quilters Newsletter issue designed by Andrea Bishop. I wanted to add that in conjunction with the release of this issue, Andrea decided to show you how the quilt is created in EQ by making the next lesson in the Kaleidoscope Collectors club all about the poppies quilt (which also appears on the cover of the Kaleidoscope Collection package). This will allow you to play with your own colors. If you have EQ5 or EQ6 and the Kaleidoscope Collection, you’ll be able to follow Andrea’s steps to create this beautiful quilt and then you’ll be given the opportunity to play with your own ideas and variations in EQ. Check it out and enjoy!
