2025 New Year Welcome - Balloon Celebration

Ready for a new year?  Learn to draft a balloon using applique tools within Electric Quilt 8.  If you have not yet used the brush stroke, you will find that it is perfect for so many parts of the balloon motif.

After completing your basic balloon, have fun decorating it.  I decided to give my balloon a party hat.​

Check out the full video and learn some of my favorite tricks in working in the applique worktable for EQ8.

For extra playtime, I drafted a couple of quilts using my balloons.  

Here are my quilts -- one to welcome in 2025 and the other to welcome new members to Tech Know Quilters.

I opened enrollment to new members this week -- in fact they all received their first formal lesson and their first step to mastery of Electric Quilt 8.

Drop my a note if you are interested in joining.

How will you celebrate the start of 2025?  Feel free to post an EQ block or quilt in the Learning EQ Facebook Group.
