Are you struggling to use Electric Quilt 8 in designing a quilt?  Or maybe you need to get your creative wheels turning to create an amazing snowflake quilt.   If so, you are definitely in the right place. 

This free live webinar will take you step by step through the process of using Electric Quilt 8 to:

• ​import and edit paper snowflake images that can be used for tracing
• draw snowflake segments with straight lines, curves, or both
• ​create full snowflakes from your segments
• create a quilt layout for your snowflakes
• export an image for either cutting out manually or cutting with an electronic cutting system (such as Cricut, Silhouette or Brother)  

By the end of this webinar you will have all the information you need to design a snowflake (or other applique motif) quilt.

You will also receive a guidebook that you will be able to use as reference both during and after the video.  This will assist you when working on your project. ​

Christmas Tree Ornament Blocks

I think you will be amazed at how easy this block is to draft in Electric Quilt.   

You can create a tree ornament block from any EasyDraw block with the simple addition of four arcs.

​Check out how to do it in this weeks Electric Quilt 8 video tutorial.

If you are looking for a last minute Christmas gift, Block Base Plus (the source for the Richmond block from the video) is a great option for the quilter on your list.  Print rotary-cutting charts, templates, or foundation patterns for over 4,000+ pieced blocks with BlockBase+ software! Export SVG files for digital cutting machines too!

Here are my before and after blocks.  I would love to see what you come up with as well.

Here is the instructions for the layout and borders for my finished project.  Use these if you wish to replicate my project in EQ8.

My original plan was for a larger wall hanging -- which I really liked.

Happy quilting.
