Pandemic Ghost Parade

I am not sure how many trick-or-treaters will be out and about tonight.  But my group of ghosts from the the Ghost Parade blog post on October 26, 2018 decided they needed to wear masks to protect both themselves and the houses they plan to visit.

Here is the original Ghost Parade tutorial.  It covers drafting a foundation friendly ghost block and placing and resizing the basic ghost block for a custom set quilt using Electric Quilt 8.  Thank you to Nancy Witte, who provided me the inspiration for this quilt.

Here are instructions to modify the block to add a mask.  The updated quilt was colored with the Hocus Pocus fabric from Robert Blake.

Here is the quilt from the 2nd video.

Tech Know Quilters Virtual Quilt Show

Tech Know Quilters is a membership of Electric Quilt 8 owners who are mastering Electric Quilt through online training.  At the end of their September class, they were encouraged to apply what they learned during the month of September. 

Tech Know Quilters is open to new members only a few times a year.  You can sign up for the wait list here and we will notify you of the next open enrollment period..   ​
I love having people at different stages of the EQ journey submitting designs.  I am so proud of this group of quilt designers.

Alice Hertel This is a square center medallion I designed in EQ for a quilt round robin I have joined.

Alice Hertel Here it is all pieced and is making the rounds. I won't see it again until it has been passed to 7 other quilters. Each will add a border. How fun!

Diane Cluever This is a Modern Bargello Quilt I designed. Really enjoyed the Bargello Unit, and can't wait to learn more!

Marlu Allan A single panel quilt embellished with applique and wreathmaker.

Julie Pedersen I took the Reproduction Quilts 2 class. I enjoyed it. This is my first coloration of my "Apply What You Learned Challenge". I incorporated blocks from various lessons in this class to make the design. And as usual, I had to see how I could change the look by changing the colors (it rarely fails to impress me how that happens.)

Julie Pedersen Coloration 2 and a slight variation of the blocks.

Linda Carlson This quilt I entered into the EQ monthly contest is called Illuminated Color Wheel Illusions. All fabrics except black are from the Illusion collection.

Irene Floyd I took the Mix & Match Medallions class this month. I enjoyed using the Polydraw tools to make curved designs. Here is one of my quilts.

Yvonne Sluce Easygoing Hexagons Challenge -- I turned the hexagon into square blocks after watching the help session.

Jackie Rigert First quilt designed in EQ with my own fabrics added

Evelin Beck I made a design for a quilt with a dream big panel. I've already sewn the top together.

Carol Mallozzi I save pictures from either Pinterest or Facebook and wanted to reproduce one in EQ. I decided that all the blocks would be 3".

Mary Rommel Hutteman This is a mix and match medallion center using a different serendipity choice set on point with two borders added.

Irene Floyd This is my version of Cabin in the Woods. I really enjoyed playing with color options and created several blocks for the border. I'm only on Class 3 (Mix & Match Medallion Borders) but have learned so much!

Debbi Treusch I took the Design to Production class this month. I picked some paper piecing tips that I applied to a quilt in progress. The quilt is 4 identical 8 X 8 quadrants and almost all blocks are paper pieced. I'm doing paper piecing in sets of 4 blocks. Each bag has 4 blocks with foundation templates and rotary cutting for each patch. The tips I picked up for calculating the number and size of the patches are really helping this to go along faster and with less cutting/piecing mistakes, especially on those really odd angles. Great class!!

Rhonda Goss What I learned in panels and t-shirts class

Lisa Ward Starting from a pretty basic bargello block and then playing with Serendipity and Symmetry generates very interesting designs. This is the original strip pieced block:

Elisa Welch Cossey-Brock This is one I created from learning how to use the arcs. I like to go in and create a block not connecting it to any other block. Then I go put several on a quilt and twist and turn. So much fun. Amazing what you can come up with

Linda Carlson I switched some blocks from a quilt created in various lesson in the Reproduction 2 class.

Kristy Goodin Soard Meadowland quilt.

Kristy Goodin Soard I designed and actually finished sewing together the back for my Meadowland Quilt. One critter per grandchild was the impetus for the design.

Curryanne Hostetler 4" block quilt done and ready for the quilters.

Nancy Haddad Lacey Acrylic Addiction Quilt

Joyce Drenth I completed my last 3 autumn mini quilts for Christmas presents. As usual, they became altered from my original design due to materials on hand.

Pat Harkins I have been playing with this design called Cabin in the Garden. I have (5) 12 block log cabin kits. The blocks finished at 9 5/8". The kits are packed in the RV but I wanted to see if the pre-cut pieces would work for this design and what sized finished block worked best with the pieces. I will have to add a fabric for the longest pieces but these are 13" finished. 4 blocks make the log cabin.

TKQ Masters Create an Original Quilt Inspired by Another Quilt Challenge

In September Tech Know Quilter's Masters members were challenged to find a quilt they liked and use it as inspiration to design their own original quilt.

Dorothee Ilgner I chose to replicate a turkey track quilt.

Inspiration Turkey Tracks quilt from the International Quilt Museum

Dorothee Ilgner My inspiration for this quilt was one made by Ulrike Buckey and was found on the Quilt Index.

Kristy Goodin Soard This quilt was started by my mother and finished by me after her passing. She had not planned on the prairie point edge, so I honored her wishes and went with a basic binding. Also, I hand quilted this treasure as she would have done.

Autumn Leaves from the Quilt Index

Linda Carlson Here is my EQ rendition of the Gordian Knot/Carpenter's Square. The original had a 50 dogtooth appliqué border, but to save my sanity, I made this a 30 dogtooth pieced border. The royal Gordian Knot logs are pieced as though they are woven over or under the white logs.

Linda Carlson This is one of my antique quilts I donated to the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, NE as part of the Linda Giesler Carlson and Dr. John V. Carlson collection over the past decades. It came to me with the name Carpenter's Square, but it is also known as Gordian Knot.

Joyce Drenth I've been fascinated by the Wayward Wind block and modifications to it. Here is my modern take via modification to add interest.

Chic Country Quilt inspiration.

Nancy Haddad Lacey One of my favoite patterns is snowball and 9 -Patch. I wanted to see what it would look like if I used some curved piecing.
