Sneak Peak at the Summer Flower Garden Challenge

6/6/2020

 
​Join me for a brand new challenge to grow your Electric Quilt skills -- or rebuild your skills if you have fallen away from using the software. 

The Challenge starts June 8th at 8 AM.  (Those joining after that date will receive all the emails -- but they will all be on a lag basis.)

Last week I shared three videos to set you up for success for the upcoming challenge.
  1. Video 1 discusses setting up your EQ file and importing a fabric collection to use in your project.
  2. Video 2 shows you how to export a block image and post in on Facebook.  I love to see pictures of your progress.
  3. Video 3 shows you how to import a block image into EQ for tracing.

More Information About the Challenge

If one of you plans for this summer is to finally get comfortable using Electric Quilt 8, then this upcoming challenge is for you.  Or maybe you have lost some of your motivation during the quarantine and are looking to get back into using EQ.  If so this challenge is for you as well.  The challenge starts Monday, June 8, 2020.  

For two weeks I will be providing you over 12 videos on creating a series of flower blocks in EasyDraw.

If you are new to drawing your own blocks, this will get you comfortable in using the EasyDraw to redraw your favorite blocks or create your own.


For those who have been using Electric Quilt for a while, you will have an opportunity for some extra practice on figuring out the snaps horizontal and vertical in EasyDraw which will carry over into all you designing.   

There is a small fee ($12) that I am charging to handle the extra administrative expenses associated with the challenge.  I also have found that enrollees are much more engaged when they pay to participate.  And when they are engaged, their skills grow at a much higher rate.  

If you haven't signed up for the challenge, please make sure to do that today.

Kari, will the videos be available after the challenge ends?
Will there be blocks that are not in the library?
Thanks

You will be able to watch the videos after the challenge. The key is keeping the emails as they provide you a private link to the video. I have not checked if the blocks are in the EQ library. It actually is very difficult to do this. There are over 6700 blocks in the EQ library and even if the blocks from the challenge are there, they could have different names. The purpose of the challenge is to encourage you to learn to draw on your own. Once you are comfortable with that, you don't need to worry about finding a block in the library, but will find it is often much faster to draw them from scratch.
