JOY Quilt Plus Free Foundations

12/16/2017

 
Picture
When I was perusing the EQ8 block library, I saw a wonderful block in the holiday collection.  Do you see a Christmas stocking when you look at this block?  I actually saw the letter J.

I then thought about how I could expand on the concept of this block by creating a series of alphabet  blocks with a candy cane motif.
I went to the alphabet blocks and found a couple that I thought might work.

After some playing, I realized I couldn't nicely just add the candy cane stripes.  So I decided to just start from scratch and create the blocks in Easy Draw.

My video tutorial this week will share with you how to draw these candy cane blocks for yourself.

MN Quilters 2018 Mystery

Picture
Who doesn't like a good mystery?  What about a quilt pattern that will be presented over the next year?

I created a really fun quilt (using Electric Quilt) entitled Flight of Fancy.  This was designed specifically for Minnesota Quilters, who has exclusive rights to present the pattern for 2018. 

The quilt is a traditional design (with no curved piecing or applique).  You can choose the size you want to make: Small is 66" x 78", Medium is 66" x 90", and Large is 90" x 90".

When you register, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to the introduction and fabric choice instructions so you can be ready when you receive your first clue at noon on January 1, 2018!

You also have the option to join a private Facebook group administered by MN Quilters where you can ask questions and share progress.  I have joined the Facebook group and plan to participate in the discussion.

Barbara -- Thanks for asking. At the current time, my classes are focused on the Shoot for the Stars with EQ8 and Tech Know Quilters programs. These are all online training which are delivered via email. You can read more here. https://www.onpointquilter.com/classes.html

I will be updating some of my other offering for EQ8 -- but that will be a little later in coming.

where do I find the Believe fabric you used? Are the several sites online that you download fabric?

The fabric images were found on the Henry Glass website. (I like to go to the fabric manufacturer's and download my favorite collections for working in EQ.) I just did an internet search and noticed that ShabbyFabrics.com has the fabric in stock.

I see the Believe Collection on the website, but no link to download the fabrics.

Kari, I cannot get the rotate option in the foundation piecing. I'm on a Mac, using EQ 8 - Version 8.0.15 (8.0.15) I've checked for updates and it says that is the newest version.

I agree that the rotate is a function sorely needed in the foundation piecing function - I just wish I had it.
