Kudos to my Easy Peasy Easy Draw Students

I have been incredibly blessed to have a wonderful group of students in my Easy Peasy Easy Draw class.   Once we were through the formal lessons, I began giving them a number of "challenge" blocks -- some difficult, some fairly simple.

Many have stepped up to the challenges and not only created the block, but also created their own variations of the block and/or their own quilt designs from these blocks.  Some have even starting redrafting their blocks in EQ8.

Here was one of the challenge blocks -- a variation on a log cabin.

Here are some of the quilts that were created from this block by Easy Peasy Easy Draw students.    I think they did an awesome job.

Importing an Image for Tracing - Simple Method

This week my video will share with you my process for importing images for tracing into EQ8.  For this week we will work with images that are a good depiction of a block (such as those found in patterns or a block designed by someone else in Electric Quilt).  I will have a future tutorial about when the pictures are not quite so perfect.
​
If you wish to practice this technique, you have my permission to use the log cabin variation block shared above.
